"Cream Of Wheat" is a brand of farina, a type of breakfast porridge mix made from wheat semolina. It looks similar to grits, but is smoother in texture since it is made with ground wheat kernels instead of ground corn. It was first manufactured in the United States in 1893 by wheat millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota.〔Though it was first manufactured in the United States, Cream Of Wheat ''originated'' in ''European'' countries, where it is more commonly known as semolina porridge and by other names that very from region to region.(History of Cream of Wheat )〕 The product made its debut at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. Before January of 2007, Cream Of Wheat was a Nabisco brand made by Kraft Foods. In January of 2007, B&G Foods acquired both the brand and, with it, all rights to market the cereal. 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 and for people who cannot tolerate wheat or gluten,〔(Cream of Rice Instant Hot Cereal is Gluten Free )〕 such as persons with celiac sprue disease. ==Preparation== Cream of Wheat is prepared from the box by boiling water or milk, then pouring in the farina while stirring. As it is stirred, the farina starts to thicken. The use of milk instead of (or in addition to) water gives the food a creamier taste. In the United States market, there are three original mixes available (10-minute, 2 1/2-minute and 1-minute).〔()〕 In the Canadian market, there are two original mixes available (8-minute and 3-minute).〔http://www.creamofwheat.ca/en/products/〕 Cream of Wheat is also sold as an instant formulation which includes the use of single-serving packets. These are prepared by simply mixing their contents with hot water and allowing the result to set in a bowl for approximately 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.〔(Cream of Wheat Varieties of Instant Hot Cereals )〕 In October 2012, Cream of Wheat added a new chocolate flavor to their instant line.〔(Chocolate Flavored Cream of Wheat Instant Cereal )〕 Their most recent addition to the varieties of instant Cream of Wheat Cereals is Bananas & Cream.〔(Bananas & Cream Flavored Cream of Wheat )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cream of Wheat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
