Durum is the hardest of all wheats. Its density, combined with its high protein content and gluten strength, make durum the wheat of choice for producing premium pasta products. Pasta made from durum is firm with consistent cooking quality. Durum kernels are amber-colored and larger than those of other wheat classes. Also unique to durum is its yellow endosperm, which gives pasta its golden hue. 2, record 3, English, - durum%20wheat

El trigo blando es un grupo al que pertenecen una serie de especies que se destinan fundamentalmente a la producción de pan en Europa y a la producción de pastas en Estados Unidos o Canadá. La especie más abundante dentro de este grupo es el trigo blando(Triticum aestivum) aunque al mismo grupo pertenecen otros tan conocidos como la escaña mayor(Triticum spelta). El trigo blando se cultiva preferentemente en regiones cálidas o templadas y el grano al romperse presenta una diferencia de textura entre el borde, más duro, y el centro más harinoso. Su contenido en almidón, grasas, hierro, fósforo y vitamina B es superior al trigo duro. 1, record 5, Spanish, - trigo%20blando
