(AGRI) Israel Develops New Wheat Varieties
"Israel -- Israeli scientists at the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research have developed two new wheat varities -- one specifically designed for making pasta, and the other for bread, reports The Media Line. The pasta quality wheat is a hybrid of Israeli wheat, other high protein wheats and wild wheat species. According to scientists, the wheat has a very high protein content and natural yellow pigment from vitamin A -- nutritional attributes sought-after by the pasta industry.
