The phrase "cream of wheat" refers to a type of hot cereal that is made from ground wheat kernels. It has been around for over 100 years and was originally called "farina." The name was changed in the early 20th century when it became popular as a breakfast food, particularly among health-conscious people who believed that it was more nutritious than other cereals.
Cream of wheat is made by grinding wheat kernels into a fine powder and then cooking them in water until they become soft and creamy. It has a mild taste, similar to cornmeal or grits, and can be served with milk, sugar, honey, or other sweetener.
Today, cream of wheat is still popular as a breakfast cereal, but it is also used in baking and cooking. It has become a staple food in many households around the world, particularly in North America and Europe.
