Cooked semolina is a versatile dish made from coarsely ground durum wheat that has been boiled in water or milk. Originating from North Africa and the Mediterranean, semolina is a staple in cuisines like Italian, Indian, and Middle Eastern, where it is used in dishes such as puddings, couscous, and pastas. Rich in carbohydrates, semolina is an excellent source of energy, contains moderate amounts of protein, and offers key nutrients such as selenium, magnesium, and iron. Its low glycemic index makes it beneficial for maintaining stable blood sugar levels, which can support long-term heart and metabolic health. However, individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease should avoid semolina due to its wheat content. Cooked semolina is commonly enjoyed as both a savory and sweet dish, depending on regional preparation, and its mild flavor lends itself well to customization with spices, fruits, or vegetables.
