farina
Milled grain powder
Farina is finely ground meal made from cereal grains, nuts, or starchy roots—most commonly wheat.
In American usage, it typically refers to a hot breakfast cereal made from milled wheat with the bran and germ removed: She made farina with brown sugar and butter.
The word also appears in ingredient lists and cooking contexts where fine-textured flour or meal is called for.
