Wheat grains are a base for many products. A distinction is made between:
Durum wheat – usage: flour for making bread, semolina and pasta
Soft wheat: flour for baking or couscous (mixture of semolina wheat, flour and water)
Semolina, wheat germs and wheat bran are added to many products in dried form, because of its binding and stabilising properties. Therefore, the list of ingredients should be read before purchase.
A selection of foods that may contain wheat or elements of wheat: pasta, breadcrumb coating, instant meals, instant soups, cake mix, beverages, muesli, snacks, sweets and many others.
