semolina definition and meaning

What is "semolina"?

Semolina is a coarse flour made from durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat known for its high protein and gluten content. It has a pale yellow color and a slightly gritty texture. Semolina is commonly used in pasta-making, where its coarse texture helps to create a firm and resilient pasta dough that holds its shape well during cooking. It is also used in the production of couscous, a staple food in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines. Additionally, semolina is used in baking to make certain types of bread, cakes, and desserts, where its coarse texture adds a unique crumb and chewiness to the finished product.
