Semolina, an article of food consisting of granules of the floury part of wheat. The name semolina is often applied to the larger sizes of 'middlings' made in the process of flour-milling (see MILL), and these products are sometimes sold under the name semolina in the granular state after thorough cleaning, instead of being ground into flour. Semolina is chiefly used for making puddings and soups.
