Semolina is not the whole grain - by definition it is the
refined endosperm only, ground coarser than all-purpose flour.

Thanx, that's what I thought.

Time to look for a whole grain fesghetti at Costco or Trader Joe's.

Wrong.

Semolina is a different species of grain than the commonly used wheat.
It's supposed to help those with wheat allergies.

It doesn't. ;-)

Correction, it is "Duram wheat", as opposed to the softer varieties of
wheat used for common bread and pasta production. It is the coarsley
ground endosperm or inner part of the wheat which is the most nutritious
part.

Sorry.

I phoned the supermarket's Consuer line earlier today to ask about th
particular product.
I was told that they had to research the issue and would get back to me.

In the mean time, I look for whole grain pasts at Costco and Trader Joe's.

They called back and stated that product uses refined, not whole, grain.
