Expert opinion from Hannah Purtle

Semolina is an excellent source of fibre. The role of fibre is to keep the digestive system healthy by adding bulk to stool, keeping bowel movements regular and feeding the good bacteria in our digestive system. Consuming an adequate amount of fibre (25-30 grams for adults) is beneficial for digestive health.

Semolina contains a moderate amount of fibre. Fibre plays an essential role in maintaining a healthy gut microbiome, easing digestion, controlling blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol levels and keeping you fuller for longer. Fibre also helps to diversify your gut microbiome which can help to improve overall stomach and intestinal health.
