Farina | Creamy Wheat Hot Cereal

Sold by the ounce.

This farina is made from the grains of hard red wheat, which are gently cracked, then air-purified to separate the bran from the heavy endosperm. The result is a finely-textured grain that can be cooked into a hot cereal, sometimes referred to as cream of wheat. When prepared, Bob's Red Mill farina has a mild, lightly sweet flavor and a smooth texture that make it popular with folks of every age group! Plus, this cereal is enriched with essential nutrients like iron, niacin, and thiamine, making it a healthy choice to start your day.

Bob's Red Mill farina is a quick and easy-to-prepare breakfast! To cook it on the stovetop, bring 2 cups of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to a near boil, then remove from heat. Slowly add 1/2 cup of farina, stirring constantly, then return to the heat and bring to a boil. Once it's boiling, lower the heat and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally. Brown sugar, milk, and a pat of butter are popular toppings for this healthy breakfast, but you can get creative, too! Try topping this hot cereal with maple syrup, chopped nuts, fresh fruits, dried fruits, cinnamon, or any other ingredients you have on hand.
