About Durum wheat pasta

Durum wheat pasta is a staple of Italian cuisine, prized for its firm texture and ability to hold sauces beautifully. Made from durum wheat semolina, it is high in protein and contains complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. Naturally low in fat, it includes essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, making it a wholesome option for balanced meals. Its gluten content gives pasta its characteristic elasticity but may not be suitable for those with gluten intolerances or celiac disease. While durum wheat pasta can be part of a healthy diet, portion control is key, as it is calorie-dense. Pairing it with nutrient-rich vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats transforms it into a nutritious, satisfying dish. From spaghetti to penne, durum wheat pasta is versatile, bringing the flavors of the Mediterranean to global kitchens while supporting an active lifestyle.
