Semolina is that particle of wheat which is left behind after you pass the finer flour particles through the refining process. It is coarse, rich in fibre, and gritty. Simply put, it is a form of ground hard wheat which is called durum wheat. You will often find it being used to make pastas. One can also use it to thicken stews. We give you some of the health benefits of semolina.

1. Good for weight watchers and diabetics

Semolina gets digested slowly and keeps you full for a long time since it is made from durum wheat. This can be a great news for those trying to lose weight and trying to control their food intake. Also, since semolina has a low glycemic index, it is extremely good for losing weight and can also prove good for those who have high blood sugar, and diabetics.

2. Benefits the immune system

Semolina contains plant pigments (carotenoids) that aid not only in protecting your immune system from toxins, pollutants, and diseases, but also guard you against the harmful effects of UV rays.

3. Is rich in carbohydrates

Since semolina has a good carbohydrate content, it is great for those who wish to maintain an active lifestyle.
