Cream of Wheat is a hot breakfast cereal invented in 1893 by wheat millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The cereal is currently manufactured and sold by Kraft Foods. It is similar in texture to grits, but made with farina (ground wheat) instead of ground corn.
Cream of Wheat is prepared by boiling water and slowly pouring in the farina while stirring. As you stir, the farina starts to thicken and mix with the water, creating a mixture that thickens depending on the ratio of liquid to farina. Some choose to use milk instead of water or both, to give the resulting food a more creamy taste. Currently there are three available original mixes; the only difference being the time it takes to prepare — 10-minute, 2 ½-minute or 1-minute. Cream of Wheat is also sold in single-serving instant packets. These are prepared by mixing with hot water and allowing to set in a bowl (about two minutes).
It is common to customize the hot cereal with the addition of sugar, fruit, or nuts. As a result, several flavors are sold of the instant variety: Original, Apples 'N' Cinnamon, Maple Brown Sugar, Strawberries 'N' Cream and Cinnamon Swirl.
In addition to its wheat-based products, the rice-based Cream of Rice is also produced as part of the product line, and is often a recommended early food for infants and toddlers

Cream of Wheat
Semolina is coarsely ground durum wheat, with particles mostly between 0.25 and 0.75 mm in diameter. The same milling grade is called grits if made from maize, and farina if made from barley or wheat other than 100% durum.
