Wheat Semolina

Wheat semolina is a coarsely ground product made from the endosperm of wheat, obtained during the milling process. It has a finely granular texture and a light cream colour. In the kitchen, it is used to prepare porridges, dumplings and gnocchi, as well as desserts such as semolina pudding with butter and sugar or baked semolina casseroles. It also serves as a thickener for soups and sauces. In Italian cuisine, known as semolina, it is used for making pasta and pizza dough. It is easily digestible and suitable for children or during recovery from illness. It contains gluten and is therefore not suitable for people with coeliac disease.
