What it is
Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat, known for its high protein and gluten content. It is primarily grown in the Mediterranean region, including parts of the United States. The grain is milled into semolina, which is then used to make pasta and other baked goods.
Why it's used
Durum wheat, in the form of semolina, is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. Its firm texture and ability to hold its shape during cooking make it ideal for pasta products. It is also used in couscous, bread, and some breakfast cereals.
Health notes
Durum wheat is a common grain and a source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. It is not a regulated food additive in the US. The WHO and other international bodies have not specifically evaluated durum wheat as a food ingredient. Like all grains, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Durum wheat is a type of wheat and is therefore a major allergen. It contains gluten, a protein that can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
