How ½ cup of semolina works out
One US cup of semolina weighs 167 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 167 × 0.5 = 83.5 g. In the other direction, 83.5 g of semolina divided by 167 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of semolina (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 88.2 g.
Tip: For pasta dough, weigh semolina rather than scooping; the coarse grains trap air pockets that make cup measures unreliable.
