About Semolina flour

Semolina flour is a coarse, granular flour usually milled from durum wheat. It is yellowish to pale gold and has a firm, gritty texture when dry, with a wheaty flavour. It is used for pasta and other doughs, and in some preparations as a coating or thickening ingredient.

Products sold under this name may differ in grind size and milling specifications; some markets also use “semolina” for coarser material rather than a finely ground flour. It is distinct from ordinary fine wheat flour in texture and typical wheat type, though the exact grain and grind should be checked on a product label.
