Organic Durum Wheat Semolina

Organic durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in many types of pasta. The wheat is milled, and the endosperm is separated to create the semolina.

Manufacturers use semolina as the base for pasta due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It is also used in some breads, puddings, and couscous. Its slightly nutty flavor and yellow hue contribute to the final product.

Semolina is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated semolina, and EFSA has also reviewed its safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
