Organic Durum Wheat
Durum wheat grown under organic production conditions; an important grain raw material used especially in the production of semolina, pasta and other wheat-based food products, thanks to its high protein content and hard grain structure.
General Information
Organic Durum Wheat is a hard wheat grown in accordance with organic production standards and assessed especially for pasta and semolina production. Grain hardness, protein content and milling properties are among the main factors that determine the product’s pasta quality.
Durum wheat with suitable quality characteristics can meet the needs of pasta production in terms of the colour, granule structure and gluten properties of the semolina obtained after milling. Depending on its intended use, the product can also be used in other food industry applications.
Uses
Organic Durum Wheat can be used in various food applications, above all pasta and semolina production.
Main uses:
- In organic semolina production
- In organic pasta production
- In the production of noodles and similar grain-based products
- In various flour-based and grain-based food products
- As a raw material in the milling sector
- In various grain-based applications in the food industry
The suitability and intended use of the product should be assessed on the basis of physical and quality analyses carried out per batch and the buyer’s product specifications.
