How many cups is 100 grams of semolina?

One hundred grams of semolina is about 0.6 cups, based on the 167 g per cup density used throughout this tool.

How many cups is 250 grams of semolina?

Two hundred fifty grams of semolina is about 1.5 cups (250 divided by 167 g per cup equals roughly 1.497 cups).

Why is semolina heavier than regular flour by volume?

Semolina is milled from durum wheat into coarse granules rather than a fine powder. Coarse granules leave fewer air pockets when scooped into a measuring cup, so more mass fits into the same volume, about 167 g per cup versus about 125 g for all-purpose flour.

Does the spoon-and-level method matter for this conversion?

Yes. The 167 g per cup figure assumes spooning semolina into the cup and leveling it, rather than scooping directly from the bag, which packs the granules tighter and adds extra weight.

Why does my semolina weight not match the package label?

Brands mill semolina to slightly different granule sizes, from fine to coarse, so package-listed weights can differ from this chart by a few grams per cup. Weigh against your specific brand for precise pasta dough.

Is it better to measure semolina by weight or by cups?

By weight. Semolina's coarse granules settle and pack unevenly in a cup depending on scooping technique, while a gram measurement stays consistent, which matters most for hydration-sensitive pasta dough.

Summary

Semolina is milled from durum wheat into coarse, gritty granules rather than the fine powder of all-purpose flour, so a gram figure from a recipe does not map onto a US cup the same way regular flour does. This tool converts semolina weight in grams into cups using semolina's own density, and can swap direction to go from cups back to grams, with a reference chart for the amounts that come up most often in pasta dough and semolina-based baking.
