It is a wheat that was cultivated in Anatolian soil centuries ago and completely emerged from Anatolian soil. Karakılçık wheat is an endangered type of wheat that takes its name from the Karakilciks in the ears. The outer crust of Karakılçık wheat is harder than the new generation GMO wheat and therefore it can only be milled in old-style stone mills.
Unfortunately, the genetics of wheat, which is the main nutrient, have begun to be changed with the increase of the world population together with the ambition of mankind to obtain large quantities and cheap products.
Non-genetically modified wheat, on the other hand, has become difficult to find as the strength has passed. Atalık Siyez wheat grown in Kastamonu Region, and Kavlıca, Kızıltan, and Gernik are still valued and cultivated by some farmers.
Karakılçık Wheat is a very valuable type of wheat with its high mineral, fiber and protein content. This wheat variety, which has a very high nutritional value, is very rich in both potassium and phosphor, and contains vitamins A, C, E and K. It is also the most suitable ancestral wheat variety for our digestive system. Since the gluten structure in the wheat germ changes in the new generation wheat, it causes serious problems in the digestive system. It is known that the main cause of discomfort in people with gluten intolerance is due to the changing structure of wheat.
Therefore, we should know the value of our Atalık Seeds and Wheats at every opportunity and pass them on to our children for generations. We should raise our children with this awareness and teach them to protect our values.
