EMMER WHEAT

Kavılca is one of the oldest wheat varieties in the world. If a group of volunteers had not found it when it was about to disappear, it would have disappeared from Anatolia. In Kars, the number of producers tending to Kavılca wheat is increasing with the efforts of Yer Gök Anadolu Association. In this type of wheat, the number of shells is higher; Therefore, it is more difficult to harvest and remove their shells than others. Kavılca (kabulca, kablıca) native wheat of Kars is considered in the emmer group. The work titled Agricultural Structure of Turkey, which was published in 1951, states that all Emmer variety wheat is called 'kablıca' in Anatolia, and its agriculture is mostly done in North Anatolia and especially in Kastamonu. The names given to the seed varieties in each region can also guide us about this kinship. In order to adapt to the cold climate, the wheat's kavılca variety both increased the number of shells surrounding the seed and thickened the forks of the ear. The einkorn of Kastamonu, which has evolved in a milder climate as a result of adaptation to the climate, has remained bare in appearance even though it is related to kavılca. For this reason, the people of Kars call einkorn 'jibıl barley'. In the same way, kavılca takes the name 'fork einkorn', meaning more forked einkorn. Emmer (Triticum dicoccum) and einkorn (Triticum monococcum) wheat varieties were also found in Çayönü, one of the oldest settlements in Anatolia. Along with Kastamonu's famous einkorn, Kars' kavılca is also included in this ancient wheat group. In short, we still have the chance to see the cultivation of the oldest wheat in the history of civilization.Kavılca is one of the oldest wheat varieties in the world.
