Whole Durum Wheat Flour

Whole durum wheat flour is made from the entire durum wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat, often used for pasta and bread. Grinding the whole kernel retains all of its natural nutrients and fiber.

Manufacturers use whole durum wheat flour as a primary ingredient in pasta, bread, and other baked goods. Its whole-grain content contributes to the texture and nutritional profile of these foods. It is commonly found in products labeled as 'whole wheat' pasta and bread.

Whole durum wheat flour is considered a whole grain and is a source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The FDA considers whole grains to be part of a healthy dietary pattern. JECFA has evaluated wheat and its components, and EFSA has also evaluated wheat and whole wheat. There is ongoing research into the benefits of whole grains for digestive health and chronic disease prevention.
