Durum Wheat
There’s a reason why Minot Milling’s dedicated durum mill processes 22,000 bushels daily. Durum is the top wheat choice for making premium pasta products worldwide. It’s important to understand how durum’s unique properties impact the quality of the deriving goods. Let’s look at what sets durum apart from other wheat varieties:
- Durum is the hardest of all wheats and gives pasta a desired al dente bite
- It is high in both protein and gluten
- Its components give pasta a firm and consistent cooking quality
- Durum wheat kernels are amber-colored and larger than other wheat kernels
- Its endosperm gives pasta a golden color
Although it only represents 5–8% of worldwide wheat production, durum remains the second most cultivated wheat behind common bread wheat. Most US durum comes from the Northern Plains region, with North Dakota producing nearly three-fourths of the crop. Minot Milling understands the importance of quality durum and its impact on the product.
Hard Red Spring Wheat
Minot Milling’s Hard Red Spring (HRS) wheat line is known for the same superior quality as our Durum line. However, its key properties and capabilities are notably different. HRS is the go-to choice for producing some of the world’s finest baked breads and goods. Here’s why:
- HRS has the highest protein content of all wheats with levels reaching up to 16%
- High protein content = high gluten content
- High-gluten wheat improves the elasticity and extensibility of the dough
- HRS improves a dough’s handling, mixing and water absorption characteristics
- Durum and HRS complement each other and are often mixed
Like Durum, HRS is a hard wheat primarily grown in the Northern Plains region. North Dakota alone accounts for more than half the nation’s supply. Minot Milling has two dedicated HRS mills that use sustainable methods to process roughly 13,000 bushels of high-performing HRS daily.
Flour Offerings
Minot understands that consumer experience depends on achieving the right blend. That’s why our menu features an extensive mix of common conventional, organic and blended flours that promise high performance and value.
