Wheat semolina
Wheat semolina is a type of flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat. It is commonly used in making pasta, couscous, and some types of bread. This ingredient is derived from the inner part of the wheat kernel, known as the endosperm.
To produce wheat semolina, the durum wheat is ground into a coarse flour called semolina. The grains are separated from the milling process and then ground into varying sizes, with semolina being a coarser grind compared to regular flour. This gives it a slightly grainy texture, making it ideal for certain dishes like pasta.
Wheat semolina is often listed as an ingredient in foods like pasta, noodles, and some baked goods. It is used for its ability to create a firm texture in pasta and desserts like semolina pudding or halva. In bread making, it can add structure and a slightly nutty flavour to the dough. Its presence in food labels indicates that the product likely contains wheat semolina, providing specific qualities to the food item.
