Etymology
The word 'semolina' comes from the Italian 'semolino', which is derived from 'semola', meaning 'bran'. The term has its roots in the Latin word 'simila', referring to fine flour. Historically, semolina has been used since ancient times, particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. It was the preferred choice for pasta-making due to its high gluten content, which gives pasta its structure. Over the centuries, different cultures have incorporated semolina into their traditional dishes, leading to a variety of recipes, such as bulgur and polenta. Its versatile properties allow it to be transformed into both sweet and savory dishes, making it a staple ingredient in many households around the world.
