Overview
The original Cream of Wheat stove top hot cereal in a 28 ounce box, made from ground wheat with a 2 and a half minute cook time. A shelf-stable, fat-free breakfast that cooks on the stove rather than the microwave-packet format.
It is listed under Cold Cereal in this catalog's category tree, but it is a hot, cooked farina rather than a cold cereal, and the box itself markets it as a stove top hot cereal, so treat the category label as an error.
- 2.5 minute stove top cook time
- Ground wheat for a smooth texture
- Fat-free, good source of iron
- 28 oz box, made in the USA
Who it's for
Suits someone who wants a quick, warm, low-fat breakfast that cooks on the stove in under three minutes and takes well to butter, brown sugar or cinnamon stirred in. Less suited to someone wanting a grab-and-go cold cereal or a gluten free option, since this is wheat-based and requires stovetop cooking.
Pros and cons
- Cooks in about 2.5 minutes on the stove
- Fat-free and a good source of iron
- Requires stovetop cooking rather than a quick microwave packet
- One reviewer received boxes with damaged, leaking flaps in shipping
