Semolina is a coarsely milled wheat product used in foods such as puddings and pasta. The figures here describe raw, dry semolina, before cooking or adding other ingredients. Per 100g, it provides 78g of carbohydrate, 11g of protein, 2.9g of fibre and 1.6g of fat. Carbohydrate is its main nutrient by weight.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Semolina contains gluten, so it is not suitable for people with coeliac disease. Cooking with water changes the nutrient amounts per weight of prepared food, while adding milk, sugar or butter changes its nutritional composition. Full nutrient figures for raw semolina are given in the tables below.
