What it is
Durum wheat flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. The wheat berries are milled into a coarse meal, which is then further processed into flour.
Why it's used
Durum wheat flour is primarily used to make pasta, noodles, and couscous due to its high protein content and gluten strength, which gives pasta its firm texture. It can also be used in some breads and pastries, particularly in Mediterranean baking traditions.
Health notes
Durum wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. It is not specifically regulated as a food additive by the FDA. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated durum wheat and its products, but no specific numeric limits are typically set for whole grains. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Durum wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA. It contains gluten.
