Semolina flour is an amber-colored flour made from durum wheat and is widely used in baking and cooking. Here are some of the benefits of semolina flour for weight loss.
High fiber content
Semolina flour is rich in fiber, which helps aid digestion and keeps you full longer. Incorporating fiber-rich foods like semolina flour into your diet can help you lose weight and reduce your risk of chronic diseases, according to a study published in the Journal of Cereal Science.
Low glycemic index
A study published in the Journal of Nutrients found that low-glycemic foods and diets help control blood sugar and weight. This is also one of the most important benefits of semolina flour in weight loss.
Rich in protein
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 56 grams of semolina flour provides more than 7 grams of protein. This is important for muscle recovery, metabolism, and satiety. Increasing protein intake can also increase calorie burn.
Low fat
Semolina is low in fat, provides sustained energy, and is especially beneficial for maintaining an active lifestyle and exercise routine while losing weight, says nutritionist Kejal Shah.
