According to the Wikipedia article "Historia de la gastronomia de
Espana," from the 7th
C BC Carthaginians cultivated common wheat, barley, germinated spelt and
"bojal" wheat. "Boj" means boxwood in English but this word "bojal" does
not seem to appear anywhere in google except in this article. The word
is not found in the Royal Academy of Spain's dictionary. Any ideas as to
what the English equivalent could be?
My hunch is that it could be red wheat but we have hard and soft, winter
and spring???
