Re: Wheat, whole wheat, durum wheat, white

*Wheat *- gandum/gehun

Whole wheat - sabut gandum (where whole of the grain is used when its grounded to make flour)

Durum wheat - the hardest wheat because of its density, high protein content and gluten strength (used to make pasta, sawayaan) (semolina/sooji/rawa is also made of durum wheat but here fine particles (purified midlings) of the durum wheat are used.

White - maida...all purpose flour (finely grounded, refined and bleached...used in baking sometimes...in this one only inner side of the grain is used)

is that any good?

Re: Wheat, whole wheat, durum wheat, white

Durum wheat is a breed of wheat which has higher pro and gluten and has a harder texture. If something says Durum wheat it doesn't mean the whole kernel was used but if it says whole grain/wheat than the whole kernel was used. Look for whole durum wheat or whole wheat/grain so the germ and bran are also included. Both are equally healthy as far as I know but ofcourse the durum has more protein. I personally wouldn't stress it and look for either one in particular just stay away from white flour as much as you can
