Durum wheat

Durum wheat is a type of wheat with high protein content, known for its hard texture and amber color. It is primarily grown in regions like the Mediterranean, North America, and parts of Europe. Durum wheat is valued for its strength and elasticity, making it ideal for producing pasta, such as spaghetti and macaroni. Its seeds are typically ground into semolina flour, which gives pasta its firm, non-sticky quality when cooked. Additionally, durum wheat is used in some bread, couscous, and other food products. Its unique properties make it a key ingredient in many traditional and modern dishes.
