What it is

Durum flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most pasta. The wheat is milled, and the bran and germ are removed to produce the flour.

The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated durum wheat and its products. Like other wheat products, it contains gluten.
