It really hit me, for whatever reason, today listening to you discuss things. Keep it up!

I'm a grain grader from Canada, and I loved the video. Durum is pretty incredible to see in a large pile. It looks like a big pile of amber gemstones. I will say though that wheat protein levels vary drastically. Weather, disease, fertilizer, and the particular strain of wheat all makes a difference. I generally tend to see higher proteins during years with lower yields. That would suggest to me that nitrogen levels in the soil are a big factor. Less grain growing in the field would mean each individual plant has better access to nitrogen and other nutrients. Perhaps the plant wants to increase the protein of the seed so that it might have a better chance of surviving passing through the digestive tract of some animal. A harder seed might survive and sprout where it has been deposited. We see proteins varying from 9% all the way up to 18%. At the grain elevator we usually blend that grain so that the protein level is approximately what the buyer is looking for. It's ultimately a case by case basis depending on who is buying and for what purpose.

While semolina is naturally yellow, the color of dried pasta is driven more by the temperature of the drying process than the color of the semolina flour. The yellower the pasta, the higher the drying temperature and the shorter the drying time, which is typical of lower quality pasta. The premium and artisanal grades of dried pasta are lighter in color because they are dried more slowly at lower temperatures, which increases the production cost.

Also, some restaurants will say "We have fresh pasta, cooked Al Dente" but then I've also heard "Al Dente pasta has to be dried, because the 'bite' comes from a little bit of dried pasta in the middle that's still uncooked."

Wheat strains are divided by the number of chromosome sets they possess. Einkorn,, Emmer and Durum are diploid (as most living organisms are). Modern wheat is allohexaploid (having three pairs of chromosome sets, with one pair each taken from a different species of related wild grass).

Semolina, I believe refers to the particular size of the ground grain. Pasta is made primarily from Durum wheat, that is true. You can get semolina from any wheat but bread wheats are ground to a finer particle size. Durum wheat semolina has a higher gluten strength which is better for pasta products.
