The hard wheat wholemeal, besides having the same characteristics of the fine durum wheat semolina, has also a high content of crude fibre and of vitamins. The fibre in the diet is advisable from the infancy. In particular, a diet rich of insoluble fibre, present in the hard wheat wholemeal , is a good cure for many pathologies and it is advisable to cure heart diseases and cancer. The fibre offers a protection against the cancer of the colon and it is capable to reduce the LDL-cholesterol.

One of the first rules of the European code against cancer is in fact: "Eat often grain full of fibre".

Finally it must be said that the wholemeal semolina contains more carotenoid than any other product from the grain grinding, because it is concentrated in the external part of the caryopsis.

The baker can also have more profit thanks to the water absorption capacity, that gives a better yield in bread-making.

All these characteristics are present in the fine hard wheat wholemeal semolina produced by the mills of Durum Italia.
