Oltresole's organic yellow corn penne are a suitable food for everyone, including those who are intolerant to wheat or even celiac, who do not want to give up a tasty and quality pasta dish. This food, widely used in the diet of the ancient Maya people, was imported into our country by Christopher Columbus, and the term "Turkish grain" indicates its exotic characteristics, although it is not originally from Turkey. The Maya also recognized the alkaloid qualities of this cereal. Corn is indeed a cereal completely free of gluten but at the same time rich in iron, as well as vitamin B1 and folic acid, all essential elements for women who are pregnant and during the weaning period of children. Corn is an herbaceous plant also used in many pharmaceutical galenic preparations to counteract diabetes, water retention, overweight, and spasms.
