What it is

Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is a key ingredient in many pasta and couscous products. The milling process separates the endosperm from the bran and germ, creating a granular flour.

Why it's used

Semolina is primarily used to make pasta, couscous, and bread. Its high gluten content gives pasta its firm texture and prevents it from becoming mushy. It is also used as a thickener in some soups and puddings.

Health notes

Semolina is a source of carbohydrates, protein, and some B vitamins. It is not a major allergen. The FDA considers semolina wheat to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for its intended use in food. JECFA has evaluated semolina and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

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