What it is
Organic wheat semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is the main ingredient in traditional pasta and couscous. The wheat is milled, and the endosperm is separated from the bran and germ, then ground into fine granules.
Why it's used
Semolina is primarily used as a base for pasta and couscous due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It can also be used in puddings, breads, and as a coating for fried foods.
Health notes
Semolina is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated semolina, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Semolina is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
