Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat primarily cultivated in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Known for its rich amber color and high protein content, it is commonly ground into semolina and used in making pasta, couscous, and certain bread. Durum is a staple in Italian, North African, and Middle Eastern cuisines, prized for its firm texture and ability to hold flavor. Nutritionally, it is a significant source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, as well as fiber, essential for digestion. It contains several minerals, including magnesium, zinc, and iron, along with B vitamins that support energy metabolism. However, durum wheat is not gluten-free, making it unsuitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. While often consumed in processed forms, whole durum products offer superior health benefits due to their higher fiber and nutrient content.
