About Cereals, farina, unenriched, dry
Farina is a hot cereal made from milled wheat, ground fine so it cooks into a smooth, almost velvety porridge — the foundation of the familiar 'cream of wheat'. Gentle and mild, it is an old comfort food and a common first cereal for children and a soothing choice when appetite is low.
These numbers describe the dry cereal at about 369 calories per 100 grams; cooked with water it becomes much lighter per spoonful as it absorbs liquid. Milled wheat is naturally low in fiber once the bran is removed, so many farina products are enriched with iron and B vitamins — though this particular entry is the unenriched version, which carries fewer of those added nutrients.
Smooth and easy to digest, farina is a warm, simple breakfast that takes well to a swirl of milk, a little fruit or a touch of cinnamon.
