Improves heart health : Semolina is excellent for your heart as well. It improves your cardiovascular health and prevents heart attacks, heart failures, etc. This is because semolina contains selenium in abundance which prevents infections and strengthens the immune system too.

Suji is a great source of protein and fiber, and therefore it helps in reducing elevated blood sugar level and eventually reduces the risk of diabetes. Semolina not only helps in providing instant energy but also boost your metabolism in the longer run. It is known to maintain a good bone, heart and brain health.

Both kinds of semolina (rava) are obtained from wheat, albeit different varieties. Bansi rava is darker in colour than plain semolina rava. It is my understanding that bansi rava is stone ground wheat, while sooji rava is machine milled and polished that gives it the white colour.
