Semolina
Semolina is a type of flour that comes from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is commonly used in cooking and baking to make dishes like pasta, couscous, and certain breads. You might have seen it listed on food labels of these products.
To make semolina, durum wheat is ground into a coarse flour. The process involves removing the bran and germ, leaving behind the endosperm, which is then ground into the semolina flour. This flour has a slightly yellow hue and a gritty texture, which is great for dishes that need a bit of bite.
Semolina appears on food labels because it adds a distinct flavour and texture to dishes. In pasta, it gives a slightly chewy bite. In baked goods, it can add a tender crumb and a nutty flavour. This ingredient also helps with the cooking performance of foods like couscous, ensuring they maintain their shape and texture during cooking.
