Wheatena hot cereal in LA?

[Miri1]

I've been searching for Wheatena for a while and haven't seen it anywhere in LA. Is it available anywhere or do I need to order it online? Thanks!

I've found Wheatena at Whole Foods in Venice and at Bristol Farms in Westchester - also my source for Cream of Wheat. Both -Non-instant of course. I like to combine the Wheatena with the Cream of Wheat. The trick is with the proportions. I use 2% milk not water. 6 to 1 for Cream of Wheat, 3 to one for the Wheatena. Put everything together cold. Stir often and lower heat as it comes to a slow boil.

Thanks for the tip. Do you mean the WF on Rose and Lincoln?

I'm going to try cooking it your way wheni find the Whetena!

[Baron]

yes, the WF on Lincoln near Rose.. Also, re the cooking method: whatever you do, DO NOT COVER while cooking the cereal - unless you want to spend the next day cleaning your stove. Cover at the very end and let sit for a minute or two. Then I stir in a little butter and brown sugar.

I want it NOW! That sounds so good. I wonder if the WF at third and Fairfax carries it. I used to live near the one in Venice but I'm in West Hollywood now. Sigh.

I found it at WF at Santa Monca and Fairfax. Thanks fir the tip!

I find it very sad to walk into a major market such as Vons, Pavilions, etc and go to the cereal isle and see rows and rows of sweet, junky unhealthy cereal products, yet not one single box of Wheatena or non-instant Cream of Wheat. Ticks me off!

[Miri1]

I agree!

My Ralphs sells the non-instant cream of wheat, as does Target. I think I've seen Wheatena at either Walmart or Target. I usually get the non-instant CofW.
