Cream of Wheat

Warm wheat cereal

Cream of Wheat is a brand of hot breakfast cereal made from finely ground wheat semolina.

Cooked with water or milk, it becomes a smooth, mild-flavored porridge similar to grits or oatmeal: I had Cream of Wheat with brown sugar this morning.

The name has become somewhat generic for this style of porridge.
