A name with a wider scope
Kew recognizes Triticum as a genus in Poaceae, the grass family. This card introduces the genus rather than identifying every flour as one species.
Our separate durum-wheat profile concerns a more specific taxon. A recipe that simply says flour, wheat flour, bread or bulgur does not by itself identify its botanical source.

Follow the form on the packet
The connected recipes name different starting materials: flour for a loaf or griddle batter, bulgur for a salad, and pasta for the saucepan. Keep the author’s specified form and quantities with the preparation.
The ear-of-grain drawing is an original decorative symbol shared with the durum card; it is not an identification diagram.
