Hard Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard wheat is the most widely cultivated type of wheat worldwide. It has a hard texture and high protein content, including gluten, which gives strength and elasticity to dough.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high gluten content makes it ideal for bread, pasta and pizza making, as it provides a chewy texture and good liquid absorption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard wheat has white or red colored seeds and prefers dry conditions and moderate temperatures when grown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides its usefulness in bakery products, hard wheat also offers health benefits, such as digestive support and long-lasting energy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as this wheat contains gluten, it may not be suitable for those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Soft_Wheat\"><\/span>2. Soft Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Soft wheat is wheat that has a soft texture and less protein content. This wheat is more widely used for making cakes, cookies, and pastries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, this type of wheat, unlike the hard wheat, also has a white or red seed color, softer texture, and does not easily absorb liquid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Durum_Wheat\"><\/span>3. Durum Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Durum wheat is a special wheat variety that has different characteristics from the other two types that we\u2019ve mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of wheat tends to have yellow seeds with a hard texture. Semolina is the flour products from durum wheat that contain higher levels of protein and gluten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for its application, this wheat is widely used in making pasta, such as spaghetti and macaroni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/benefits-of-wheat\/\">Benefits of Wheat<\/a>&#8220;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Whole_Wheat\"><\/span>4. Whole Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next one on our list of types of wheat is the whole wheat. Whole wheat is a grain that hasn\u2019t undergone further milling or processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it is still in its pure form, the nutritional content of this type of wheat is maintained intact.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of wheat that includes whole wheat is composed of three main contents, namely the skin (bran), institution (germ), and endosperm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bran:<\/strong> the outer layer of the grain that is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Germ:<\/strong> the part inside the grain that contains good fatty acids.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Endosperm or body:<\/strong> the part that is rich in carbohydrate and protein content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The nutritional content of whole grains make it so important as it can provide important benefits for our digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not going to stop there, as the whole grains also act as prebiotics, a food source for good bacteria in the gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Refined_Wheat\"><\/span>5. Refined Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike whole wheat, refined wheat has gone through a number of milling and processing processes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process aims to remove the skins so that the texture of the wheat is smoother, the color is whiter, and the shelf life is longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All-purpose flour is one of the refined wheat products that you can easily find. It is used for making bread and pastries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the processing of wheat usually \u201ctrims\u201d most of the important nutrients, such as carbohydrates, protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins thus reducing the overall benefits of wheat consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For diabetic patients, avoid consuming refined wheat as this type is less effective at helping to keep blood sugar levels stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Enriched_Wheat\"><\/span>6. Enriched Wheat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Food fortification is the process of adding essential nutrients to food products to increase their nutritional value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This practice is usually also applied to wheat products to replace nutrients lost during processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In wheat flour production, fortification usually involves adding key nutrients such as folic acid and iron, along with other vitamins and minerals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps to ensure that the flour products produced can meet daily nutritional needs, address nutrient deficiencies common in foods, and improve its overall health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There you have it! The types of wheat that you can choose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, other than contemplating about the types of wheat that you want to choose, choosing the right wheat product with a high quality one is also important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wheat, especially in the form of flour, is in the mandatory list of things that needs to be certified before being sold and distributed in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The certification itself is called the SNI Certification, that regulates most if not all of the products and or services that are sold, distributed or provided in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This certification aims to give peace of mind to the Indonesian customers, knowing that the product that they bought has already been tested for its quality and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, for the regulation that regulates the wheat flour, it is clearly stated in SNI 375:2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What?
