TRS Semolina Coarse 1.5 KG is the larger bag of the same coarse cut durum semolina. One and a half kilos is an odd looking size that turns out to be a sensible one, since it is about what a family gets through in a couple of months.

Semolina keeps better than most flours because the grains are large and there is little of the germ left in it, so a bigger bag is less of a gamble here than it would be with atta or besan. It still wants an airtight tin rather than the open bag, mostly because of weevils rather than staleness.

How long will 1.5 kilos last? A couple of months for a household making upma once or twice a week, which is inside the window where it stays good. If upma is a monthly thing, the 500 gram pack is the better buy.

Does semolina go stale like flour? More slowly. The grains are coarse and most of the germ has gone, so it lasts longer than atta or besan. Weevils are the more likely problem than staleness, so keep it sealed and check it before use.

For a smaller kitchen, the 500 gram coarse semolina is the pack to take, and the sooji and rava shelf here holds the fine cuts and the rice ravas. Vegetarian. Keep it sealed and dry, and look through the pack before you use it, because rava draws weevils faster than flour does.
