Cream of Wheat is a classic hot breakfast cereal made from finely ground wheat farina, originating in the United States in the late 19th century. Known for its smooth, creamy texture when cooked, it is often enjoyed with milk, sugar, fruit, or spices like cinnamon. Cream of Wheat is a good source of iron and essential B vitamins, making it a nutritious option for energy and supporting overall health. It contains minimal fat and is naturally low in calories, though nutrient content may vary with added ingredients. Despite its benefits, Cream of Wheat is relatively low in fiber compared to whole grain cereals, which may limit its ability to support digestive health. It is a versatile dish suited for various dietary preferences, but individuals seeking higher fiber or protein content may consider pairing it with fruits, nuts, or seeds for added balance.
