DURUM--SEMOLINA FLOUR

The best quality pasta is made from 100% durum wheat.
Durum wheat is a high protein, hard wheat which contributes
to the characteristics of good pasta.
The endosperm of durum is called semolina and it is a granular, hard substance resembling sugar. Macaroni and
spaghetti are made from this. A by-product of semolina
milling is durum flour which is used to make noodles. Both
semolina and durum flour are enriched with B-Vitamins and
iron.
Semolina and durum flour are sold commercially in
specialty food stores. The greatest share of the product is
sold to pasta manufacturers.
