Durum Wheat Berries 

Non-GMO, Vegan, Raw, Product of Canada  

Durum is the hardest of all wheat kernels. Durum wheat is a variety of spring wheat that’s typically ground into semolina and used to make pasta. It can also be ground into a finer flour and used to make bread or pizza dough. Typically high in protein, but lower in gluten content, Durum Semolina and Couscous are both made from this wheat. High in protein, it's ideal for pasta. 

Durum is used less than other wheat for breadmaking, though it has special applications. Durum wheat is the most nutritious wheat, containing a good amount of protein, potassium, niacin, folate, protein and magnesium. When ground into flour and mixed with water it forms a very stiff dough.  

  • Rich in Nutrients and Fiber: Durum wheat berries, originating from the hardest of all wheats, boast a remarkable nutritional profile. They are packed with essential nutrients such as B vitamins, especially folate and thiamin, which play a crucial role in energy metabolism and nervous system health. Additionally, their high fiber content aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, making them an excellent choice for those managing weight or looking to improve their dietary fiber intake. 
  • Versatile Culinary Ingredient: Known for their robust texture and nutty flavor, durum wheat berries are a versatile ingredient in the kitchen. They can be used in a myriad of dishes, ranging from hearty soups and refreshing salads to pilafs and even as a base for making homemade whole grain pasta. Their ability to absorb flavors makes them an ideal component in both sweet and savory recipes, offering a nutritious twist to traditional dishes.
  • Heart Health Benefits: Incorporating durum wheat berries into your diet could contribute to cardiovascular health. The combination of dietary fiber, which helps in managing cholesterol levels, and significant amounts of magnesium, a mineral essential for heart health, makes them a heart-friendly food choice. Studies suggest that regular consumption of whole grains like durum wheat berries can lower the risk of heart disease, making them a valuable addition to a balanced and heart-conscious diet.
