Sooji: Healthy or Not? How To Choose Suji?

 Is Sooji healthy? How is suji made? Is suji maida?

Semolina, or sooji, is a versatile flour derived from durum wheat. It's a staple ingredient in many Indian cuisines, particularly in the southern states.



**Whole wheat semolina** is a healthier option as it retains the bran and germ layers, which are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a coarser texture and a brownish color.


**Refined semolina** has a finer texture and a whiter color. While it's easier to cook with, it lacks the nutritional benefits of whole wheat semolina.


How to Choose the Right Semolina

Look for the color

Whole wheat semolina is typically brown, while refined semolina is white.

Check the texture

Whole wheat semolina has a coarser texture.

Read the label

Look for terms like "whole wheat semolina" or "durum wheat semolina."

By choosing whole wheat semolina, you can enjoy the delicious taste of semolina-based dishes while reaping the benefits of its nutritional value.
