Macaroni wheat is a type of wheat that is commonly used to make pasta, particularly macaroni. This wheat has a high protein and low carbohydrate content, which makes it ideal for pasta production. Its texture is hard and brittle, making it easy to process into various pasta shapes. While macaroni wheat is the most common term used for this type of wheat, it can also be referred to as durum wheat or semolina wheat. Durum wheat is the hardest of all wheat types, while semolina wheat is the coarsely ground endosperm of durum wheat. These synonyms are commonly used in Italian cuisine and are highly prized for their quality and versatility.
