Organically Grown Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina + Water

Durum wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. 'Organically grown' means it was produced using farming methods that meet U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) organic standards, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. It is the primary ingredient in many types of pasta.

Semolina is used to make pasta, couscous, and some breads and puddings. Its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked make it ideal for pasta production. Water is added to hydrate the semolina and form the dough.

Durum wheat semolina is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognizes wheat as a major food allergen. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many food ingredients, but semolina itself is a basic foodstuff, not typically evaluated as an additive with specific intake limits. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming semolina as part of a balanced diet.
