An Italian farmer found some unknown seeds in his attic and planted them

An Italian farmer, Claudio Grossi, discovered a bag of unknown seeds in his attic, which he planted and found to be a previously unknown type of wheat. The wheat plants grew to be twice as tall as commercial wheat and had seven ears, unlike the typical one ear found on other wheat. The kernels were also larger and came in a variety of colors, including yellow, black, red, white, and green.
