Suji, also known as semolina, is a coarse, granular flour made from durum wheat. Here's how it's made:
1. Harvesting and Cleaning
- Durum wheat is harvested and cleaned to remove impurities like dust, chaff, and foreign materials.
2. Grinding and Sifting
- The cleaned wheat is then ground into a coarse flour using a mill.
- The flour is sifted to separate the different particle sizes, with suji being the larger, coarser fraction.
3. Packaging and Distribution
- The suji is then packaged and distributed to markets and consumers.
Suji is a versatile ingredient used in various dishes like upma, halwa, and pasta. It's also popular for making bread and other baked goods.
