Perciasacchi Organic Ancient Wheat Chips Arcadipane

Perciasacchi Organic Ancient Wheat Chips are an artisanal snack made exclusively with Sicilian durum wheat from the prized Perciasacchi variety, an ancient native grain grown organically in the heart of Sicily. Crunchy, light, and with an authentic wheat flavor, these chips are a healthy and tasty alternative to commercial snacks, perfect for any time of day. The low salt and fat content, combined with the excellent nutritional profile of Perciasacchi, make them ideal for a healthy aperitif, a tasty snack, or to nibble while watching a good movie.
 
 
 

The roots of these chips are deep in the history of Sicilian cereal production.

Perciasacchi is one of the oldest and most iconic Sicilian durum wheats, also known as "Sicilian Kamut" due to its similarity to Khorasan. Its curious name, "perciasacchi" (meaning "sack-hole"), derives from the sharp shape of its kernel, capable of literally piercing the jute sacks in which it was once transported. Cultivated in Sicily since pre-Hellenic times, this grain risked extinction during the last century due to the advent of more productive modern varieties. However, thanks to the dedicated work of custodian farmers, it was saved and is now enjoying a well-deserved rebirth. It represents an invaluable genetic heritage of Italian cereal biodiversity.
 
 
 

Choosing Perciasacchi Chips means taking care of yourself

The ancient Perciasacchi wheat has a decidedly superior nutritional profile compared to modern grains: it is richer in protein, minerals (especially selenium, zinc, and magnesium), B vitamins, and dietary fiber. Its gluten structure, less tenacious than that of hyper-selected grains, makes it significantly more digestible and generally better tolerated, even by those with non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The low sugar (2,05g per 100g) and salt (just 0,005g) content makes these chips a balanced snack, while the fiber content (3,86g) contributes to intestinal health. All from certified organic farming, for conscious consumption that respects biodiversity.
