About Farina
Farina is a milled grain product, commonly a refined cereal meal used as a food ingredient. The exact grain and milling specification can vary by region and product, so the name alone does not establish a single botanical source or degree of refinement.
It is generally encountered as a dry meal or flour-like ingredient that can be cooked into a soft, smooth preparation or used in other foods. Particle size and texture vary by product. Check the product label for the grain source and processing details rather than assuming a particular cereal.
