This is a misconception about the durum variety. While it’s true that durum wheat is commonly associated with processed foods like pasta, the form it takes matters. Whole-grain daliya is much healthier than refined products like durum semolina pasta. Durum Wheat for Pasta is highly processed and ground into fine flour (semolina) to make pasta and other refined products. This process removes the bran and germ, leaving mostly starch. Daliya is made from durum wheat and is minimally processed. The whole wheat grain is cracked into smaller pieces, retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm. This makes it a whole grain, preserving its nutrients and fibre content. The organic label depends on how the durum wheat is grown. It qualifies as organic if it’s grown without synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, or GMOs.
