Farina is a type of milled wheat product that is commonly used in cooking and baking. It is made from finely ground wheat kernels, typically the inner, softer parts of the wheat grain, known as the endosperm. Farina has a fine, powdery texture and is often used to make hot cereals, such as cream of wheat or farina porridge, by cooking it with milk or water and sweetening it with sugar or honey. It can also be used as a thickening agent for soups, stews, and gravies. Farina is appreciated for its versatility and its ability to create creamy, smooth textures in various dishes.
