Wheat from El Berguedà

The "escairat" wheat from Berguedà is a traditional cereal from inland Catalonia. It consists of wheat grains of a local variety that have had their hulls removed (escairado) to obtain a white, tender grain. It is an essential ingredient for the traditional winter stew, escudella. It stands out for its mild flavor, firm texture, and gluten-free nature, similar to boiled popcorn. An excellent option for people with celiac disease.
