peer agreement (net): +1Khorasan wheat smooth pasta quills Explanation: The name "kamut" appears to be a registered trademark, so I would go with "Khorasan wheat" instead. "Khorasan wheat or Oriental wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. turanicum also called Triticum turanicum), commercially known as kamut, is a tetraploid wheat species. It is an ancient grain type; Khorasan refers to a historical region in modern-day Iran in the northeast and parts of Central Asia including modern-day Afghanistan. This grain is twice the size of modern-day wheat and is known for its rich, nutty flavor." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khorasan_wheat |

smooth kamut penne Explanation: Penne come in two forms, ridged ("penne rigate" with lines like rigatoni), or smooth ("penne lisce"). In the English speaking world, you tend not to see that specification made in my experience (except sometimes directly on the pasta packaging which is often in Italian), so I'd say it's optional to say "smooth," but I've added it just in case. Turaniche refers to the grain. Grano turanico is what's most commonly known as kamut. It's one of those old-new (but actually old) grains that are all the rage among certain subsets of the population (along with millet, quinoa, amaranth, etc). |
