Wheat anyone can see in part of kitchen (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

durum

'wheat' is the definition.
(durum is a kind of wheat)

'anyone can see in part of kitchen' is the wordplay.
'anyone can see' becomes 'u' (universal dvd certificate).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'part of kitchen' becomes 'drum' (the kitchen is an orchestra's percussion section).
'u' inserted inside 'drum' is 'DURUM'.

(Other definitions for durum that I've seen before include "Kind of wheat used to make pasta" , "Kind of hard wheat" , "Wheat for pasta flour" , "Type of flour used for pasta" , "Hard type of wheat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
