About this product

Description

Semola, also known as semolina, is a type of flour that is made from durum wheat. Durum wheat is a high-protein, hard wheat variety that is primarily grown in Italy and other Mediterranean regions. Semola is coarsely ground wheat flour that is yellowish in colour and has a gritty texture.
  • Semola is commonly used in Italian cuisine to make various types of pasta, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, and gnocchi. It is also used to make traditional Italian bread like focaccia, as well as desserts like semolina cake and semolina pudding.
  • One of the unique properties of semola is its ability to hold its shape and texture when cooked. This is because of its high protein content and coarseness. It gives the pasta a firm and chewy texture, which is highly prized in Italian cuisine.
  • Semola is also a nutritious flour, rich in vitamins, minerals, and protein. It is a good source of iron, magnesium, and zinc, and contains more protein than other types of wheat flour.
