What it is

Durum semolina flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in traditional pasta and is also used in couscous and some breads. The milling process separates the bran and germ from the endosperm, which is then ground into the characteristic granular flour.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use durum semolina flour primarily for its firm texture and golden color, which it imparts to pasta products. It provides structure and a desirable bite to foods like pasta, noodles, and some baked goods. It is also used in breadings and coatings for fried foods.

Health notes

Durum semolina flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for food use. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. JECFA has evaluated durum wheat and its products, and EFSA has also assessed wheat and its derivatives. Like other grains, it contributes to dietary fiber intake. No significant controversies are associated with its use at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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