Durum wheat is typically less processed than whole wheat in terms of its milling and refining. Durum wheat is primarily used to make semolina for pasta, which retains most of its nutrients and fiber, while whole wheat flour is made from the entire wheat kernel and is minimally processed. However, both can be available in less refined forms, but durum is often associated with specific uses that preserve more of its whole grain characteristics. Overall, neither is highly processed compared to white flour, but durum wheat retains more of its natural form.
