Semolina/Sooji

Semolina, which is commonly known as Suji or Rava in Indian households, is made from durum wheat. Triticum Durum is the scientific name of durum wheat. It is a cereal crop which is mainly grown in the Mediterranean region

Semolina is bursting with essential amino acids that help build collagen (the most abundant protein in your body) for muscle development. It also keeps tendons and muscles elasticated, flexible and strong, reducing the chances of injury and speeding up post-workout recovery.

The high protein and gluten content of semolina flour means it is uniquely ideal for pasta-making, as these properties help to shape the pasta and maintain its shape when cooked. Semolina flour can also add a crispy crunch to pizzas and bread and yields dense, grainy, and nutty desserts.
