About Semovita

Semovita is a finely processed flour made from wheat, commonly used in African cuisines, particularly in Nigeria. It serves as a versatile staple food, often paired with soups and stews. Semovita primarily consists of refined wheat flour, offering a softer texture compared to traditional whole-grain options. It is an excellent source of energy due to its high carbohydrate content and also contains protein, though in moderate amounts. Semovita may provide some vitamins and minerals, like iron and B vitamins, depending on fortification by manufacturers. While it is easy to prepare and digest, its refining process reduces fiber content, making it less suitable for individuals seeking high-fiber diets. Suitable for varied culinary applications, Semovita provides an accessible and filling meal option, though moderation is advised for those managing weight or blood sugar levels, as it has a higher glycemic index than less processed grain-based foods.
