What it is

Durum wheat semolina flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is produced by milling durum wheat kernels, resulting in a granular product that is typically yellow in color. This flour is a staple in many cuisines, particularly for making pasta.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use durum wheat semolina flour primarily as the main ingredient in pasta due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It is also used in couscous, bread, and some baked goods. Its coarse texture contributes to the distinct mouthfeel of these products.

Health notes

JECFA and EFSA have evaluated durum wheat and its products. While it provides nutritional value, like all grains, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.
