What is Coarse Semolina?

Semolina is a type of flour made from the endosperm of durum wheat. It has a coarser texture compared to regular wheat flour, making it perfect for recipes where you need a more granular texture. Coarse semolina is often used in pasta making, as well as for making traditional couscous, puddings, cakes, and breads.

Unlike fine semolina, coarse semolina is ideal for dishes that require a more distinct texture or heavier consistency, such as in grain-based porridge or grilled semolina bread.

Balars Coarse Semolina is made from premium durum wheat, ensuring that each grain retains the natural flavour and nutritional benefits of wheat.
