Papa’s Choice Farina (500g) offers a finely milled wheat starch suitable for thickening sauces, gravies, and soups, as well as for certain baking methods. It dissolves smoothly, allowing you to achieve the consistency you want without introducing a strong taste. Popular in various European and African recipes, farina can help create a silky texture in batters, puddings, or even dumplings. This smaller quantity is a practical choice if you only need wheat starch occasionally or wish to test it in a few recipes.

Key Features:

500g size for minimal storage needs or recipe trials
Smooth finish that blends seamlessly in liquids
Light taste that does not overshadow the main ingredients
Useful for creamy sauces, gravies, or light pastries
An easy way to add consistency and a refined texture to dishes
Usage Tips: When thickening sauces, first create a slurry by mixing the farina with a small amount of cold water. Then stir it gradually into the warm sauce until the desired thickness is reached. For baking, you can combine it with flour or other starches to tweak the crumb and texture of cakes, pastries, or breads. Remember to adjust cooking times and liquid ratios accordingly, as farina may alter how moisture is absorbed.
