Organic Pasta: Organic Durum Wheat Semolina

Organic durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from the endosperm of durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. The organic designation means the wheat was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Semolina is used to make pasta, couscous, and some types of bread and puddings. Its coarse texture and high protein content give pasta its characteristic firm bite and ability to hold its shape during cooking.

Durum wheat semolina is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. The FDA considers wheat a major food allergen. There are no specific health concerns associated with typical consumption of durum wheat semolina for individuals without wheat allergies or celiac disease. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components.
