What it is

Extra Fancy Durum Flour is a finely milled flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta and is known for its high protein and gluten content, which gives pasta its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Extra Fancy Durum Flour mainly to produce pasta, noodles, and couscous. Its specific milling and protein content are crucial for achieving the desired texture and cooking quality in these products.

Health notes

Durum wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. The FDA considers wheat flour to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as intended. While whole wheat flour offers more fiber and nutrients, refined durum flour is lower in these aspects. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components, but specific health implications are generally related to overall dietary patterns rather than individual ingredients like durum flour.

Allergen info

Extra Fancy Durum Flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten.
