1 cup of semolina = 167 grams · 100g = 0.6 cups
Semolina is the coarse, golden flour milled from hard durum wheat, and it is the backbone of dried pasta and many breads. Its granular, sandy texture makes it heavy — about 167g per cup — and it doubles as a non-stick dusting for pizza peels and pasta. Fine semolina is sometimes sold as semolina flour.

How to measure semolina accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh semolina on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of semolina weighs about 167 grams (5.89 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts semolina and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: For pasta dough, weigh semolina rather than scooping; the coarse grains trap air pockets that make cup measures unreliable.
