Durum wheat flour is a type of wheat flour that is milled from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat known for its high protein content and rich gluten structure. The production process involves cleaning and milling the durum wheat kernels to produce durum wheat flour. The flour is then typically sifted to remove bran and germ, resulting in a fine, golden-yellow flour with a coarse texture. Durum wheat flour is used in the production of pasta, such as spaghetti and macaroni, due to its ability to maintain shape, texture, and firmness during cooking. It is also utilized in the preparation of various breads, couscous, and other specialty food products, commonly found in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines.
