100% Organic Durum Wheat Flour

Durum wheat flour is made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is a coarse, yellowish flour commonly used in pasta making. The '100% Organic' designation means it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, according to organic farming standards.

Durum wheat flour is a primary ingredient in pasta, bread, and couscous due to its high protein and gluten content, which gives dough elasticity and structure. Manufacturers use it to create firm, chewy textures in baked goods and pasta products.

Durum wheat flour is a staple grain and a source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. It is not a major allergen but contains gluten, which is problematic for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. The FDA considers wheat flour to be GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe). JECFA has evaluated wheat and wheat products, establishing acceptable daily intakes for certain related compounds but not for wheat flour itself.
