About Trigo

Trigo, known as wheat in English, is a versatile whole grain that has been a dietary staple across various cuisines for thousands of years. Originating from the Fertile Crescent, trigo is rich in carbohydrates, providing energy, and contains fiber, aiding digestion. It offers essential nutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. Commonly used in bread, pasta, and baked goods, trigo plays a vital role in Western and Mediterranean diets. Whole wheat varieties are considered healthier due to higher fiber content, while refined wheat may lack nutrients. Though nutritious, trigo contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Opting for minimally processed trigo products maximizes its health benefits. As a source of plant-based protein and sustained energy, trigo embodies a balance of taste and nutrition, offering both culinary versatility and support for an active lifestyle.
