What it is
Durum wheat semolina is a coarse, pale yellow flour made from durum wheat. It is produced by grinding the endosperm of the durum wheat kernel, which is the hardest type of wheat.
Why it's used
Manufacturers primarily use durum wheat semolina to make pasta, couscous, and some breads. Its high protein and strong gluten content give pasta its characteristic firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked.
Health notes
Durum wheat semolina is a common food ingredient and not regulated as a food additive by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and protein. For most people, it is a nutritious food, but it contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. As a basic food ingredient, it is not typically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA in the same way food additives are.
Allergen info
Durum wheat semolina is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten.
