Coarse Semolina – Versatile Wheat Granules for Sweet & Savoury Cooking

Coarse Semolina, also known as rava, rawa or suji, is a granular wheat product valued for its distinctive texture and versatility in cooking. Commonly made from durum wheat, semolina has a mild, slightly nutty flavour and a grainy consistency that works well in both traditional recipes and modern baking.

Popular in Indian, Italian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, coarse semolina is used in savoury dishes, sweet puddings, pasta and selected breads and baked goods. Its granular texture adds body to recipes and creates a satisfying consistency in dishes such as Indian upma and halwa. Whether you're preparing traditional South Asian meals, experimenting with homemade pasta or baking at home, coarse semolina is a useful pantry ingredient for home cooks and professional kitchens.
