Durum wheat is a tetraploid species of wheat, This is a second most cultivated group of wheat after the common wheat. It is developed by the stilted selection of domesticated emmer wheat. Durum wheat semolina is thick and rich in protein and gluten. Therefore, it is considered ideal for manufacturing pasta. It is also used in the making of bread in Meddeteraninan and North Africa.
