Wheat is one of the oldest and most important grains cultivated in the world. There are thousands of known varieties. The most common are common wheat, used to make bread flour, durum wheat, used for pasta, and dwarf wheat, suitable for making finer flour. Additionally, various wheat varieties are used to produce starch, malt, dextrose, gluten, alcohol, and other ingredients.
Importance, impacts:
Durum wheat differs in its carbohydrate composition from common wheat. The starch it contains is broken down more slowly by the body, resulting in a more favorable effect on blood sugar levels. Its protein content is slightly higher than that of common wheat, making it possible to create more elastic dough. Durum wheat also contains gluten, so it is not recommended for those with gluten sensitivity. Its vitamin and mineral content is almost the same as that of common wheat. Its beautiful yellowish color comes from beta-carotene.
Usage:
Great pasta can be made without adding eggs to it.
