Let’s cook with it → Invent something with it

What it is for

They build structure. Starch granules swell in hot water, burst, and weave a net that traps the liquid — most of what you call body comes from here. Wheat does one extra job on top: gluten.

Where it catches you out

Starch does nothing before 62 °C, and acid cuts the chains during a long boil. Think about your thickener after the heat and before the acid.

The knack

Do not confuse dry semolina with the finished weight of a milk dessert; count the fat and sugar in halva separately.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard for 12 months.

Contains gluten

Semolina is made from durum wheat.

Allergen: GLUTEN
