Semolina Flour
Explore Grains
Semolina Flour, often referred to as Sooji or Rawa, is a highly functional, coarse-ground wheat product primarily derived from the hard endosperm of Durum wheat (Triticum durum). Celebrated for its bright golden color, granular texture, and high gluten strength, semolina is a vital global commodity in the pasta-making, breakfast cereal, and artisanal baking sectors. Aba Impex sources its semolina from specialized mills utilizing hard, high-protein durum wheat lots. The milling process uses precise reduction rollers that crack the grain into distinct crystalline granules rather than reducing it to fine dust. Our multi-stage air-purification and sifting tables ensure perfect particle size uniformity, completely removing lightweight bran particles and fine flour dust. This strict processing control ensures optimal hydration, high dough elasticity, and strong shape retention, meeting the strict requirements of international pasta factories, couscous producers, and premium food brands.

- Coarse Semolina / Sooji (Large granules; ideal for couscous and granular puddings)
- Fine Semolina / Rawa (Smaller granules; optimized for pasta doughs and batters)
