The Maiorca variety belongs to the category of ancient or heirloom varieties. The plant is tall, reaching a height of 180 cm. The ear has a quadrangular shape and is awnless. A distinctive feature of the grain is its white color.
The variety possesses the resilience characteristic of locally adapted species, but is prone to lodging due to the significant height of the stem. The yield is lower than that of modern breeding varieties. The variety is adapted to the conditions of organic farming without the use of intensive doses of fertilizers and pesticides.
Flour from this variety is distinguished by good organoleptic properties and is used for baking bread, confectionery, and preparing pizza. The possibility of using the variety in brewing is also being studied. The flour contains less gluten than modern commercial counterparts.
