What is farina?

Farina is a type of finely milled wheat flour that is commonly used in cooking and baking. It is made from the endosperm of the wheat kernel and is often used as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and gravies. Farina is also commonly used to make hot breakfast cereals such as Cream of Wheat.

Farina is low in fat and calories, making it a healthy choice for a variety of dishes. It is also a good source of carbohydrates and protein, making it a filling and nutritious option for breakfast or as a side dish.

Farina is available in both regular and whole wheat varieties, with the whole wheat version containing more fiber and nutrients than the regular version. It can be found in most grocery stores in the baking aisle.
