Finding Farina

In your culinary wanderings you occasionally see a reference to Farina.

Farina is derived from the Latin word for Flour and it is wheat, but it is more coarsely ground, kind of the same texture as cornmeal.

Now pretty much the only time that you see Farina is in hot cereal such as Cream of Wheat.

Farina was used more for baking since it holds moisture so well but you will very seldom see it referenced in modern recipes.
