What it is

Enriched durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is enriched, meaning certain vitamins and iron have been added back after processing. Durum wheat is commonly used for pasta due to its high protein and gluten content, which gives pasta its firm texture.

Why it's used

Semolina is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. Manufacturers use it for its texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It is also found in couscous, bread, and some breakfast cereals.

Health notes

Durum wheat semolina is a grain product and a source of carbohydrates and protein. Enrichment adds back B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron, which are often lost during milling. The FDA considers enriched durum wheat semolina to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. Whole grain versions offer more fiber and nutrients. JECFA has evaluated durum wheat and found no safety concerns at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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