Holle Organic Wholegrain Semolina Porridge, 250 g, from the 6th month
Holle Organic Wholegrain Semolina Porridge is a single-grain organic baby cereal for babies from the 6th month. It is made from biodynamically grown wheat - wholegrain wheat flour and wholemeal wheat semolina, both certified Demeter - with vitamin B1 as required by law, in a 250 g box. You make it up yourself with breast milk, infant formula, fresh milk or water: 120 ml of liquid to 4 tablespoons, 15 g, of cereal.
This is a one-grain cereal, and that is its whole purpose. The declaration is wheat in two forms plus one vitamin, which makes it a cereal for introducing wheat on its own rather than meeting it inside a mixture. Holle's own framing is that after rice, millet, oats and spelt, semolina is another single grain to add to a baby's weaning diet.
The wheat is biodynamically grown and certified Demeter, a stricter standard than organic alone. Holle also states it does not use hybrid grain varieties, and gives that as the reason the porridge is suitable for babies from 6 months onwards.
You choose the liquid, which is the other thing that makes this cereal flexible. Prepared with breast milk, infant formula or fresh milk it becomes a cereal milk porridge; prepared with water it is a milk-free variant, suitable from the start of baby food; and it can be prepared with fruit or vegetables as part of mixed baby food.
It needs no boiling. The whole grain is processed into an easily digestible form: the starch is gently broken down with heat and moisture, and because the whole grain is used, the nutrients and active substances of the grain are largely retained. You heat the liquid, stir the cereal in and let it swell.
It contains WHEAT and gluten, which is the point of it rather than a drawback, and it is why this is a cereal for a baby who is ready to meet wheat.

Where it fits
Where a single-grain cereal sits in weaning
The reason to buy a one-grain cereal is traceability. Introducing grains one at a time, a few days apart, means that if something disagrees with your baby you know which grain it was. A mixed muesli cannot tell you that, and a cereal like this one is why the single-grain step exists.
Holle places it in a sequence: after your baby has tried rice, millet, oats and spelt, semolina is another single grain to include. So this is not usually a first cereal but one of the early ones, taken when the gentler grains have gone well and wheat is the next thing to meet.
Its flexibility is what keeps it useful afterwards. The same box makes a milk porridge for the evening, a water-based milk-free bowl, or a fruit or vegetable porridge as part of mixed baby food, so one cereal covers several slots in the day.
Introduce one grain at a time
If this is your baby's first meeting with wheat, give it on its own for a few days before anything else new. That is the entire advantage of a single-grain cereal and it costs nothing to use it properly. Holle Organic Oats Baby Porridge and Holle Wholegrain Rice Baby Porridge are the other single grains in the same range.
Preparation
How to prepare Holle Organic Wholegrain Semolina Porridge
Holle's own directions, and the liquid is yours to choose
Quick and easy preparation without boiling. Easy to prepare using either breast milk, baby formula, or just water for a delicious and wholesome porridge. 1. Heat 120 ml of baby's usual milk to approximately 50 degrees Celsius. 2. Add 4 tablespoons, 15 g, of cereal and stir. 3. Allow to soak and cool to body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius, before serving. This is only a guide: you can prepare Holle porridges to the texture and quantity that your baby prefers.

1
Choose the liquid
Breast milk, infant formula or fresh milk for a cereal milk porridge; water for the milk-free variant. Holle gives all of them for this cereal.
2
Heat 120 ml to about 50 degrees
Holle's own volume and temperature. There is no boiling step for the cereal itself, though water for a baby should be freshly boiled and cooled.
3
Add 4 tablespoons and stir
15 grams of cereal, stirred into the liquid rather than the other way round.
4
Let it soak
The grain takes up the liquid as it stands. Longer standing gives a thicker porridge, shorter a looser one.
5
Cool it to about 37 degrees
Let it come down to body temperature before serving, and check the temperature yourself.
6
Adjust it to your baby
Holle states plainly that the quantities are only a guide and that you can prepare its porridges to the texture and quantity your baby prefers.
The no-boiling note, the choice of liquids, the 120 ml, the 50 and 37 degree figures, the 4 tablespoons and 15 g, and the only-a-guide statement are all Holle's own for this cereal. The instructions printed on your box govern. Tablespoon measures are a guide to the gram weight beside them.
Check the temperature, and prepare each bowl fresh. Let the porridge cool to body temperature, about 37 degrees Celsius, and check it yourself before it reaches your baby. Prepare each bowl fresh rather than keeping a made-up one. Spoon-feed it. Follow the preparation instructions printed on the package, which govern. If your baby has a diagnosed wheat or gluten condition, this is not the cereal for them.
Three ways to make it up
Milk, formula or water: what each preparation gives you
Because the milk is not in the box, the same cereal becomes three different bowls depending on what you pour in. All three are Holle's own preparations for this product.

Holle also states it can be prepared with fruit or vegetables as part of mixed baby food. The 120 ml figure is Holle's own and applies to all of them.
Ingredients and allergens
What is in it
Contains WHEAT and gluten
ALLERGY ADVICE: Contains WHEAT and gluten. For the EU 14 major food allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in capital letters. Wheat is the whole of this cereal, so there is no gluten-free version of it and no such claim is made. The panel on the box governs.
** organically grown to biodynamic standards (certified Demeter).
Reproduced word for word from the ingredient declaration carried for this cereal, including the Demeter footnote.
ALLERGY ADVICE: Contains WHEAT and gluten. For the EU 14 major food allergens, including cereals containing gluten, see ingredients in capital letters.
Vitamin B1 is thiamine, and the declaration notes it is there as required by law. That is the authorized basis for its presence in a cereal of this kind and nothing further is claimed for it here.
Demeter is biodynamic certification, a stricter standard than organic alone. Holle also states it does not use hybrid grain varieties, and gives that as the reason this porridge suits babies from 6 months onwards.
Holle states that the whole grain is processed into an easily digestible form suitable for babies: the grain starch is gently broken down with heat and moisture, and by using the whole grain the valuable nutrients and active ingredients of the grain are largely retained. Those are Holle's words about the process rather than a nutrition claim of ours.
The declaration carries a footnote that the product contains naturally occurring sugars. No sugar is added, and no added-sugar claim is printed here beyond that, because that is as far as the declaration goes.
Holle does not publish a nutrition table for this cereal on a page we could read, so no energy, protein or carbohydrate figures are given here and none has been estimated.
Read as a list, that is wheat, wheat and one vitamin. There is no milk powder, no oil, no fruit and nothing added to sweeten, color, flavor or preserve it, which is what a single-grain cereal should look like.

250 g box
How far it goes
How many bowls a 250 g box makes
Holle gives 15 g of cereal a bowl for this porridge, which is a small measure, so a 250 g box goes a long way compared with a milk cereal at 40 g a bowl.

So a 250 g box is roughly sixteen bowls at Holle's own quantities. A baby having one bowl a day would use about two boxes a month on that basis, against about five for a milk cereal taking 40 g a bowl.
Holle states plainly that its quantities are only a guide and that you can prepare the porridge to the texture and quantity your baby prefers, so a thicker bowl will use more and the count will fall accordingly.
The 15 g per bowl and 120 ml of liquid are Holle's own figures for this cereal. The 250 g net weight is as listed by an authorized retailer of it. The bowls-per-box, prepared-weight and boxes-per-month figures are arithmetic from those numbers and are labeled as such. A level tablespoon varies, so treat the bowl count as a planning figure.

Questions parents ask
Frequently asked questions
From what age can my baby have this porridge?
From the 6th month. Holle links that to its use of non-hybrid, biodynamically grown wheat, and places semolina after rice, millet, oats and spelt in the order of single grains.
What exactly is in it?
Wholegrain wheat flour and wholemeal wheat semolina, both organically grown to biodynamic standards and certified Demeter, plus vitamin B1 as required by law. That is the whole declaration.
Do I make it up with milk or water?
Either. Holle gives breast milk, infant formula or fresh milk for a cereal milk porridge, and water for a milk-free variant that is suitable from the start of baby food. The volume is 120 ml whichever you choose.
How much cereal per bowl?
15 g, which Holle gives as 4 tablespoons, into 120 ml of liquid heated to about 50 degrees Celsius. Holle adds that this is only a guide.
How many bowls does a box make?
About sixteen. A 250 g box at 15 g a bowl is roughly sixteen bowls, which is arithmetic from Holle's own per-bowl weight.
Does it need boiling?
No. Holle describes it as quick and easy preparation without boiling: you heat the liquid to about 50 degrees, stir the cereal in and let it soak. Water for a baby should still be freshly boiled and cooled.
Does it contain gluten?
Yes. It is wheat, and the allergy advice reads contains WHEAT and gluten. There is no gluten-free version of a wheat semolina porridge.
What does certified Demeter mean?
Demeter is biodynamic certification, a stricter standard than organic alone. Both wheat ingredients in this cereal carry that marker.
Is it a good first cereal?
It is a good single grain, which is what matters, but Holle puts it after rice, millet, oats and spelt rather than first. The value of any single-grain cereal is that you introduce one grain at a time.

The age is taken from the product itself. The 250 g net weight is as listed by an authorized retailer of this cereal, because the product page states no pack size. The bowls-per-box, prepared-weight-per-bowl and boxes-per-month figures are arithmetic from that weight and Holle's own per-bowl quantities, and are labeled as such. Holle publishes no nutrition table for this cereal on a page we could read, so none is given and none has been estimated. Last reviewed 24 October 2026.
