Sooji is the coarse medium milled flour of durum wheat. Different types of wheat result in different refinement. They are very fine grains that double up when cooked as Halva, Upma and Daliya. Semolina is a very healthy addition to your diet. It has many health benefits, like its high iron content.
Iron is very important for the body. Some of the functions of iron include transporting oxygen through your blood, DNA synthesis, growth and development and immune system support. Iron is fundamental for the production of red blood cells. The redblood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body. If one doesn’t take in enough iron, they can suffer from a iron-deficiancy anemia.
It is very high in Complex Carbohydrates and protein and it provides instant energy and boosts your metabolism.
