Organic Semolina Flour

Organic semolina flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in traditional pasta and is also used in couscous and some breads. The durum wheat is milled to produce semolina, which is then further processed into flour.

Manufacturers use organic semolina flour primarily for its texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked, making it ideal for pasta production. It is also used in some baked goods and as a thickener in certain dishes. Its presence is most common in pasta products, frozen dinners, and prepared side dishes.

Organic semolina flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some protein. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated semolina and related wheat products. While generally considered safe, like all refined grains, it is lower in fiber and some nutrients compared to whole wheat flour.
