Bob's Red Mill Rolled Wheat Hot Cereal
What it is
This is a whole grain cereal made from wheat that has been steamed and rolled into flat flakes. The rolling process makes the wheat cook more quickly than whole groats. It provides a hearty and satisfying breakfast option. The flakes retain much of the natural goodness of the wheat. It is a simple, wholesome food for starting your day.
How people cook with it
This cereal is commonly prepared as a warm breakfast porridge. It can also be incorporated into other baked goods for added texture and flavor.
- Breakfast porridge
- Added to muffins
- Used in granola
- Topping for yogurt
To prepare this cereal as a hot breakfast, combine the rolled wheat with water or milk in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cereal reaches your desired consistency. This usually takes a few minutes. You can adjust the liquid amount to make it thicker or thinner. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
How it differs from similar foods
Rolled wheat cooks faster than whole wheat groats because the steaming and rolling process breaks down the grain structure. It offers a different texture compared to steel-cut oats or cream of wheat. The flavor is distinctly wheaty and wholesome.
