What to know about durum wheat

Durum wheat is the hard, high-protein wheat species grown specifically for pasta and semolina, distinct from the soft wheat used in bread flour. As a whole wheat grain it is high in gluten and high in fructans, so it is unsafe on a gluten-free diet and rated high FODMAP. It also scores as pro-inflammatory and higher in lectins, which is why some people feel worse on durum-based foods beyond the gluten question alone.

Watch for

  • High in gluten as a true wheat grain, so it is off the table for celiac disease and gluten sensitivity
  • High in fructans and high FODMAP, a common driver of bloating and irritable bowel symptoms
  • Rated pro-inflammatory and higher in lectins, which can compound how it feels for sensitive people
