What it is
Semolina flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is often enriched with vitamins and iron that are removed during the milling process. Semolina is the main ingredient in traditional pasta.
Why it's used
Enriched semolina flour is primarily used to make pasta, noodles, and couscous. It provides structure and a firm texture to these products. It can also be used in some baked goods like bread and pastries.
Health notes
Enriched semolina flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides some protein and fiber. The enrichment adds back essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid). JECFA has evaluated semolina and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
Allergen info
Semolina flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
