Mavragani

Mavragani is an ancient variety of Greek durum wheat known for its high nutritional value and exceptional quality. It has traditionally been cultivated in Greece, particularly on the island of Lemnos. Mavragani is known for producing flour that is rich in protein and gluten, making it ideal for baking bread and pasta.

In recent years, Mavragani has seen a revival due to the increasing interest in heritage grains and sustainable agriculture. Its unique flavor, combined with its hardiness and resistance to diseases, has made it a valuable crop in Greek organic farming.

This grain is often sought after for artisanal breads and traditional Greek dishes, as it adds a distinctive, slightly nutty flavor and dense texture.
