What it is

Enriched durum semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. The enrichment process adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron that are lost during the milling of the flour.

Why it's used

Semolina is prized for its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked, making it ideal for pasta. It is also used in some breads, couscous, and desserts. Manufacturers use it for its nutritional content and its role as a binder in processed foods.

Health notes

Durum semolina is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. The added vitamins and iron contribute to its nutritional value. The FDA considers enriched durum wheat flour to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated semolina and its components.

Allergen info

Enriched durum semolina is derived from wheat, which is one of the FDA's 9 major food allergens. It contains gluten.
