Suji / Rava

Pillai Suji/rava, also known as semolina, is a versatile grain product that enhances the texture and flavour of various culinary creations. It is made by grinding wheat or durum wheat into a fine powder, which is then sieved to achieve the desired texture of fine granules. Suji/Rava has a long-standing tradition in many cultural cuisines and is cherished for its ability to transform dishes into delicious and satisfying meals.

In addition to its culinary versatility, sooji/rava offers nutritional benefits, including being a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy to fuel the body, and containing essential minerals like iron and magnesium.
