Farina

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If properly stored, it can last for a very long time.

For a smooth, creamy porridge, whisk farina into cold liquid (milk or water) before heating to prevent lumps.

Toast farina lightly in a dry pan before cooking to enhance its nutty flavor.

Sweeteners: Honey, maple syrup, sugar, brown sugar

Fruits: Berries, bananas, applesauce

Spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom

Dairy/Non-dairy: Milk, cream, almond milk, oat milk

Savory: Cheese, herbs (in gnocchi or pasta dough)

Adding farina directly to boiling liquid without whisking can result in a lumpy porridge.

Overcooking farina porridge can make it gummy.
