Default Cream of wheat - core or not?

I read in the smaller 1st week booklet that cream of wheat is core. But reading in the complete food guide, it says that it is not. Now I am really confused. Help?

I have NEVER seen whole wheat cream if weight. Is it new? Is that why it changed?

The front alphabetical portion of the Complete Food Companion, 2008 edition, says Cream of Wheat and Farina are Core. No distinction is made about "whole grain".

My understanding was that the old fashion cream of wheat that you boil for a few minutes is Core but the instant kind is not. Hope that this helps.

Lauralee-What I said about the Cream of Wheat came from my leader. Not sure if that helps or not.

Oh! ok. Yeah that does help! Thank you.

I think I will count it has core. When I am on core I only have one bowl or so a week.
