What it is
Enriched durum semolina is a flour made from durum wheat, a hard type of wheat. It is called "enriched" because certain vitamins (like B vitamins) and iron are added back after the milling process.
Why it's used
This ingredient is primarily used to make pasta products like spaghetti, macaroni, and ravioli. It gives pasta its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked.
Health notes
As a grain product, enriched durum semolina is a source of carbohydrates, which provide energy. The enrichment process adds back nutrients like B vitamins (folic acid, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine) and iron, which are important for overall health. The FDA considers enriched grains, including semolina, to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) when used as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
This ingredient is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. It also contains gluten.
