My kids LOVE cream of wheat, but now that we've started cutting down on refined, unsoaked grains, this sounds like a good alternative. I don't have a Vita-Mix, but I do have a grain mill. Any advice on grinding to produce whole wheat farina? I would love to do this!

I was googling "how to make farina from wheat berries" and yours was one of the top posts. Funny, I should have known that one of my favorite blogs would have the info I wanted, all along! Thanks! I don't have a Vita-Mix, can I use another blender? I have an Oster and a Cuisinart. I know this is an old post, but I’m really glad to have found it!

I just finished watching my Breadbeckers DVD again and wanted to make ww farina (just bought a box of cream of wheat the other day). You offered all of the information that I needed. Loved reading your sweet family reply back and forth. If possible could you please e-mail me at * so that I might pick your brain a little more? Thanks! <em>Yes, I will email you. :D -Wardeh</em> Thank you for the ww farina recipe.

Is this possible? I was attempting to make the bread with your cracked grain cereal mix. <em>You could substitute the corn meal from the corn, although it will be a little finer. But in the case of corn, I think that would be fine. You could try substituting in the case of the others, but be aware that you should grind only very, very minimally so as not to end up with flour. Just try to chop up the rolled grains a bit. It is worth an experiment, in any case. I'm interested in hearing how it turns out. </em> I am collecting ingredients and was hoping that it is possible to substitute corn meal for the corn, rolled barley- for the barley hulled, and rolled buckwheat for the buckwheat groats.

I guess this post of mine doesn't actually tell how to make it, does it? I'll update that today. Well, this is what to do.

We had our whole wheat farina breakfast yesterday (Sat). It was so delicious, smothered with organic coconut, raw cashews and walnuts, raisins and cranraisins, molasis and yummie soy-rice-almond-oatmeal milk (your recipe!) poured on top. Best of all, it was served to me by your Dad while I took a break to eat breakfast from washing windows and storms. Oh yes, I found that 3 and 1/2 to 1 was a good ratio for ours. Remember when we always had Cream of Wheat for breakfast on Church day?? Love, Mom Hi! We had our whole wheat farina breakfast yesterday (Sat).
