Just Natural Organic Durum Wheat Semolina 500g

Just Natural Organic Durum Wheat Semolina is a premium, coarsely ground flour made from hard durum wheat. Unlike common soft wheat flour, semolina is prized for its high protein content and its golden, sunny colour. Because it is made from durum wheat, it has a distinctively firm texture and holds its shape exceptionally well, making it the gold standard for authentic pasta-making and traditional desserts.

Whether you are crafting handmade pasta, gnocchi, or the classic creamy Middle Eastern pudding known as basbousa or halva, this organic semolina provides the perfect structural foundation for your culinary creations.

Product Specifications

Highlights & Benefits

• Superior Texture: Due to the high protein and gluten content of durum wheat, semolina provides an "al dente" bite that is essential for high-quality pasta.

• Versatile Culinary Use: Excellent for pasta doughs, but also wonderful for dusting baking stones to prevent sticking, or for making creamy, textured hot puddings.

• Rich Golden Colour: Adds a beautiful, natural golden hue to doughs and baked goods without the need for additives.

• Pure & Organic: Sourced from certified organic durum wheat, ensuring no synthetic pesticides or additives are used in the process.

• Nutrient-Dense: A good source of B vitamins, iron, and energy-providing complex carbohydrates.

Preparation Tips

• Pasta Making: Mix the semolina with a little water (or eggs) to create a firm, workable dough. Its coarse grind provides the necessary structure to ensure pasta doesn't turn mushy when boiled.

• Dusting: Use it to dust your pizza peel or baking tray. Because of its coarse texture, it acts like tiny "ball bearings" that help your pizza or artisan bread slide off the peel and into the oven easily.

• Semolina Pudding: Whisk 1 part semolina into 4 parts boiling milk (sweetened with honey or sugar and flavoured with vanilla or cardamom). Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a thick, custard-like consistency. Serve warm for a comforting, traditional breakfast or dessert.
