Product of Turkey

[Nickolas]

I just ate the most delicious Vitaminli,
NUH'UN, ankara MAKARNASI.
It's a kind of pinched in-the-middle macaroni.

Even in the next day's soup the pasta retains
its delicious texture.
I'm thinking the wheat is from Ukraine (?).

But the finished product is from Turkey.

At a local foreign food shop in Chiba, Japan
it sells for 98 yen or about 80 cents American.
The bag is 500 g.

I tried to call the company and ask them a question.
But their English was so-so.
I'm still waiting for an e-mail reply.


My question is:

Does the WHEAT come from UKRAINE ???

There is such a B-I-G market for this kind of product in Japan.
I'm sure some Ukrainian company could produce it
with even better quality and price.
But I must admit the QUALITY of the Turkish pasta is very good.

It must be the wheat...
