CONS

Farina is a high-carb food, and this recipe may not be suited for people trying to cut down on their carb intake.

Also, it may not be ideal for gluten-intolerant individuals like several other wheat-based breakfast options.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Farina is made from wheat which is rich in several essential nutrients like protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a good source of energy.
