What it is

Semolina flour is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is produced by grinding the endosperm of the wheat kernel into small granules. Semolina is known for its high protein and gluten content and its bright yellow color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use semolina flour primarily in pasta making due to its firm texture and ability to hold its shape during cooking. It is also used in couscous, bread, and some desserts. Its granular texture can add a pleasing bite to baked goods and pasta.

Health notes

Semolina flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated semolina, and EFSA has also assessed wheat and its derivatives. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Semolina flour is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
