Join us as we pull back the curtain on pasta's signature bite. We trace how durum wheat proteins—glutenins and gliadins—form a resilient cage, how extrusion aligns strands, and why high-temperature drying welds them together. We'll see how this engineered structure slows starch swelling in boiling water, giving that al dente bite and a gentler glycemic response.
