Trachanas from Glykovrisi, Lakonia (16 oz)

Trahana (TRAH hah nah) is one of the world’s most ancient foods, a nutritious grain product that originated as a way to preserve milk. This quick and easy comfort food is still a favorite among the Greeks. With a soft creamy texture, it is nutritious, sating and delicious. This ancient “fast food” is also extremely versatile for any meal of the day as either a main dish or an accompaniment to a wide variety of foods. See "How to Enjoy" below for cooking suggestions. Trahana is cooked and sun-dried, resulting in tiny pasta-like pebbles ready for quick meal preparation. Our trahana is the sour variety. Tangy and delectable, it is made by a small family business in Glykovrisi, Lakonia, near the ancient city of Sparta. We chose it for its complex, rich, earthy flavor and almost umami quality.  See "Recipe Ideas" below for cooking and serving suggestions. Ingredients: Semolina, Flour, Water, and Salt.
