What it is
Durum wheat flour is a coarse flour made from the durum wheat kernel, a hard variety of wheat. It is the primary ingredient in most traditional pasta. The wheat is milled, and the bran and germ are removed, leaving the endosperm, which is then ground into flour.
Why it's used
Durum wheat flour is used to make pasta, couscous, and some breads. Its high protein and gluten content give pasta its firm texture and ability to hold its shape during cooking. It is valued for its golden color and nutty flavor.
Health notes
Durum wheat flour is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. It is not a major allergen. The FDA considers it safe for consumption. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat and its components. Like other grains, it contains gluten, which can cause adverse reactions in individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
Allergen info
Durum wheat flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
