Granular products are coarser than flour. Like flour, they can be whole grain if milled from the whole kernel, or not, if milled from the endosperm. Examples of granular wheat products include farina and semolina. Farina is coarsely ground from the endosperm of hard red wheat. Cream of Wheat is an example of a brand of farina. Durum semolina is coarsely ground from the endosperm of durum wheat. Semolina is from the Italian for farina. Because durum semolina is yellow in color, it can be easily mistaken for cornmeal.
