What it is

Durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is produced by grinding the wheat kernel into fine granules. Semolina is a key ingredient in many traditional dishes, especially pasta.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use semolina primarily as the base for pasta due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It is also used in some breads, couscous, and desserts. Its granular texture can add a unique mouthfeel to baked goods.

Health notes

Durum wheat semolina is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. JECFA has evaluated semolina and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). As a grain product, it is a staple in many diets.

Allergen info

Durum wheat semolina is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
