Semolina

Semolina is a coarse, gritty type of flour made from durum wheat, a hard wheat variety. It is commonly used in making pasta, couscous, and certain desserts because of its high gluten content, which gives products a firm texture. Semolina has a yellowish color and a slightly nutty flavor. It is rich in protein and provides energy, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking. Its coarse texture distinguishes it from regular flour, and it’s valued for its ability to create a firm, elastic dough suitable for various culinary applications.
