The traditional cook-on-stove product is prepared by boiling water or milk and slowly pouring in the ground wheat while stirring. Let it simmer while stirring for 2 ½ minutes after the ground wheat is blended.
Instant
The same great taste and smooth texture of Cream of Wheat, but with the added convenience of single-serve packets. The instant variety is still an excellent source of Vitamin D, iron, calcium, and can be easily prepared in the microwave or by adding hot water to your bowl.
