Farina

Farina

EverydayEnrichedDry

Farina is an enriched, milled wheat cereal made from the endosperm of wheat kernels, producing a smooth-textured hot cereal when cooked with water or milk. This quick-cooking grain is fortified with iron and B vitamins, offering enhanced nutritional value compared to unprocessed wheat derivatives. While naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, its gluten content requires avoidance by those with wheat sensitivities, though its mild flavor makes it versatile for both sweet and savory preparations.
