Semolina Flour: US Cups to Grams (g) & Ounces (oz) Conversion
Convert volumes of semolina flour (coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat) measured in US cups to its approximate weight in metric grams (g) and imperial/US ounces (oz). Primarily used for pasta, couscous, and some breads or puddings.

Important Considerations for Semolina Flour:
Semolina flour is coarser and denser than all-purpose flour. The weight of 1 US cup is typically around **160-175 grams** (approximately 5.6-6.2 ounces). A common figure is 167g per cup.
Use the "spoon and level" method for measuring semolina by volume.
"Semolina" usually refers to durum wheat semolina. "Semolina" from corn (corn grits) or rice will have different densities. This chart is for wheat semolina.
It's high in gluten and protein, making it ideal for pasta for its structure and elasticity.
For precision in pasta making or baking, **measuring semolina flour by weight is recommended.**
