Date syrup is a natural sweetener that has wonderful richness and treacly depth; I drizzle it over semolina porridge.

Semolina is commonly used in making pasta due to its high gluten content, which gives pasta its structure.

Different cultures use semolina in unique ways, such as for making couscous in North Africa.

Semolina gives a slightly gritty texture to foods, which can be desirable in certain recipes.

In desserts, semolina provides a comforting, creamy texture when cooked with milk.

Besides puddings and pasta, semolina can also be used to thicken soups or as a base in pie crusts.
