Triticum Polonicum Var. Abyssinicum

Triticum polonicum var. abyssinicum is a lesser-known wheat species with a unique genetic background. Native to the highlands of Ethiopia, it has been historically cultivated by local communities for its hardy nature. This variety is notable for its resistance to harsh environmental conditions, making it a valuable crop in arid regions. Its grains are rich in nutrients and have been used in traditional foods for generations. Despite its potential, it remains under-researched and underutilized in modern agriculture.
