About Semolina

Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat known for its high protein content. Predominantly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines, it’s a staple ingredient in dishes like pasta, couscous, gnocchi, and desserts such as halwa. Nutritionally, semolina is rich in complex carbohydrates, which provide sustained energy, and it contains essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Its high protein content makes it ideal for pasta production, offering a firm texture. However, as a wheat product, semolina contains gluten, making it unsuitable for individuals with gluten intolerance or celiac disease. It also has a moderate glycemic index, so portion control may be important for those monitoring blood sugar levels. Semolina’s nutrient composition and versatility make it a valuable ingredient in diverse recipes around the globe.
