What it is
Enriched durum flour is finely ground durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is enriched with specific vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins (folic acid, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin), that are lost during the milling process.
Why it's used
Enriched durum flour is a primary ingredient in many pasta products due to its high gluten content, which gives pasta its firm texture. It is commonly found in fresh and dried pasta, noodles, and some baked goods.
Health notes
Enriched durum flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The added vitamins and minerals can help prevent deficiencies. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated flour enrichment, and it is a common practice worldwide. There are no widespread controversies regarding its use at typical dietary levels.
Allergen info
Enriched durum flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
