Farina is a form of milled wheat popular in the United States.

Farina can be used as a substitute for bread crumbs in sweet and meat pies (to absorb excess water).

Popular brands offer up to 50% of the recommended daily value of iron in a single 500-kilojoule (120-kilocalorie) serving.

Cream of Wheat, Malt-O-Meal, and Farina Mills are popular brand names of breakfast cereal.

To augment its mild taste, popular add-ins to cooked farina include brown or granular sugar, maple syrup, honey, molasses, fruit, nuts, cinnamon, butter, grated chocolate, jams, milk, and salt.
