So Upma with Bansi Rava is nutritious with higher protein than regular Rava, is it right ?

Yes...by a few percentage points.

I’m heartbroken to know that rava actually comes from wheat and is not gluten free. 😶‍🌫️ I’m gluten intolerant and thought those upmas and rava idlis are my best bets to not inflame my gut. On that note, I would love to cook with durum semolina so if you can share a brand name, that’d be nice. Fascinating read, thanks!

Hi Ishita, I buy a brand called Bobs Red Mill, here in the US. However, just fyi- semolina contains gluten as well. Any of the wheat (Triticum) species contain gluten unfortunately. So, does barley and rye and any hybrid of the 3 grains listed above.

Remaining grains are all gluten free.
