Organic Matt Durum Wheat Semolina

Organic Matt Durum Wheat Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is milled from the endosperm of the wheat kernel, leaving the bran and germ behind. The 'matt' designation refers to a specific milling process that results in a coarser texture than standard semolina.

Manufacturers use semolina as a primary ingredient in pasta, couscous, and some breads and puddings. Its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked make it ideal for pasta production. It provides structure and a slightly nutty flavor to baked goods.

Durum wheat semolina is a source of carbohydrates and protein. It is not a regulated food additive in the U.S. and is considered a basic food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated durum wheat and its components as part of broader assessments of grains. Currently, there are no widespread health controversies associated with the consumption of durum wheat semolina at typical dietary levels.
