Durum Wheat Semolina Organic And Water

Durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. The wheat is milled, and the bran and germ are removed, leaving the endosperm which is then ground into semolina.

Semolina is primarily used to make pasta due to its high gluten content, which gives pasta its firm texture and allows it to hold its shape during cooking. It is also used in some breads, puddings, and couscous. Manufacturers use it as a base ingredient for its structure and mild flavor.

Durum wheat semolina is a grain product and a source of carbohydrates and some protein. It contains gluten, which is problematic for individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The FDA considers wheat to be one of the major food allergens. No specific regulatory limits are set for semolina itself, as it is a basic food ingredient.
