About Sooji

Sooji, also known as semolina, is a coarse flour derived from durum wheat. It is a staple in Indian cuisine and widely used in various dishes like upma, halwa, and savory pancakes. Sooji is rich in carbohydrates, making it a great energy booster, and contains a moderate amount of protein that supports muscle building. It’s a good source of essential minerals like iron and magnesium, and its high fiber content aids digestion. Low in fat, sooji is often favored for heart-healthy recipes when cooked with minimal oil or sugar. However, it is less suitable for individuals with gluten intolerance, as it contains gluten. Versatile and quick to cook, sooji can be incorporated into many nutritious meals, helping to strike a balance between flavor and health-conscious eating.
