MP Coarse Semolina 4kg

Description

MP Coarse Semolina produces a slightly denser, more textured swallow than fine semolina — with a heartier bite that many Nigerian households prefer for its satisfying, substantial feel against a well-seasoned soup. The coarser grind takes marginally more stirring and a little longer to reach its full smooth consistency, but the result is a swallow with more body that holds its shape well and pairs superbly with thick soups like egusi, ogbono, and bitter leaf. The 4kg bulk pack is ideal for large households that use semolina as their regular swallow.

How to prepare

• Bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil per 1 cup of coarse semolina.
• Gradually pour in the flour whilst stirring vigorously with a wooden turner to prevent lumps.
• Reduce heat, cover, and steam for 3 minutes. Stir firmly until smooth and elastic — allow a little longer than fine semolina for the coarser grain to fully hydrate.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from moisture. Best used within 6 months of opening.

Frequently asked

What is the difference between fine and coarse semolina for swallow?

Fine semolina gives a silkier, lighter result. Coarse semolina produces a denser, more textured swallow with more body — a matter of personal preference.

Is coarse semolina gluten-free?

No — semolina is made from durum wheat and contains gluten. Not suitable for those with coeliac disease or wheat allergy. For gluten-free swallow, please choose our cassava or yam flour alternatives.
