What it is
This is a wholesome hot cereal made from roasted wheat. The roasting process gives the wheat a distinct, nutty flavor and a pleasant aroma.

To prepare, combine the roasted wheat cereal with your preferred liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan.

This process also contributes to a slightly different texture, often a bit heartier than finely milled grains. The natural sweetness of the wheat is also enhanced by the roasting.
