About Semiya

Semiya, also known as vermicelli, is a type of thin pasta made from refined wheat flour. Widely used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines, it is a staple ingredient in dishes like Semiya Upma, kheer, and soups. Originating from Italian cuisine, its versatile nature has made it a global favorite. Traditionally, semiya is quick-cooking and serves as a convenient base for both savory and sweet recipes. While it provides a source of carbohydrates for energy, being made from refined flour, it lacks fiber and essential nutrients found in whole grains. Fortified versions may contain added vitamins and minerals, making them a better choice for nutritional balance. Pairing semiya with vegetables, nuts, or protein-rich ingredients can enhance its nutritional value. Moderate consumption is advised for those monitoring blood sugar levels or aiming for balanced diets.
