What it is

Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is typically yellow in color and has a high protein content. Durum wheat is milled into semolina, which is then often further processed into flour.

Why it's used

Semolina is commonly used in pasta, couscous, and bread due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape when cooked. It can also be used as a thickener in soups and puddings, and as a coating for fried foods.

Health notes

Semolina is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated semolina, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has also assessed wheat-derived products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Semolina is derived from wheat, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
