(uncountable) An ancient tetraploid species or subspecies of wheat (Triticum turanicum), historically cultivated in Central Asia.
Khorasan wheat is another ancient wheat that probably evolved as a hybrid of other grasses. Its exact origins are unknown, but appear to be in the Middle East. Unlike other ancient wheats, however, the grain is not enclosed in a hull.
