Abstract
Process of preparing a dry, instant, wheat farina-like product in flake form which will readily rehydrate upon the addition of hot water. Farina is impregnated with a sufficient amount of water to saturate the farina. The wetted farina is tempered, preferably with agitation, to produce a material having uniform moisture. The tempered material is cooked, the average particle size of the cooked material being increased thereby. The average particle size of the cooked material is then reduced. The particulate material is flaked to form a dry product in flake form. The flaked material is dried. The dried, flaked material is capable of being readily rehydrated by the addition thereto of hot water to provide a food product having the texture, etc., of cooked farina.
