Durum Wheat for Pasta and Semolina
Buyers searching durum wheat are buying hard wheat for pasta and semolina, not bread milling wheat. The commercial identifier is the package: protein, vitreous kernels and test weight on the same lot — not a protein number copied from a milling stem.
MOSTAGRO certifies Russian durum wheat as Triticum durum. Bread mills that need gluten, falling number and nature 77 kg/hl should use a milling stem — 12.5% milling wheat or 13.5% milling wheat.
- Triticum durum — pasta and semolina, not bread flour
- Protein min. 13.0% · vitreous kernels min. 80%
- Test weight min. 78 kg/hl · moisture max. 13.5%
- Falling number min. 300 s · foreign matter max. 1.5%
Russian Durum Wheat 13% Protein
Protein min. 13.0% is the protein floor on this durum wheat stem. It is not the whole grade. A 13% protein call without vitreous kernels and nature 78 kg/hl is not this specification. Do not treat durum 13% and 13.5% milling wheat as the same grain with a different protein print.
The 13.5% milling page is bread-flour intent: gluten, falling number, nature 77 kg/hl. This page is durum intent: Triticum durum, protein 13%, vitreous 80%, nature 78 kg/hl, falling number 300 s.
High-Vitreous Durum Wheat
Vitreous kernels min. 80% sits on this commercial stem with protein and test weight. Pasta and semolina buyers read vitreousness as a durum identifier. A high-protein bread wheat without a vitreous call is still not durum.
Test weight min. 78 kg/hl is the nature floor on the same lot — tighter than the 77 kg/hl milling-wheat call. Moisture max. 13.5%. Falling number min. 300 s. Foreign matter max. 1.5%. Damaged kernels max. 2.0%.
