Why is Cream of Wheat Not Paleo Safe?
Many people are suprised to learn that Cream of What is not OK to eat on the Paleolithic diet. It looks and is prepared like other healthy foods but it is primarily made of Grain which is not Paleo safe.
During the Paleolithic era humans only hunted and forged for food. They did not grow, cultivate and cook grains so foods like Cream of Wheat are not allowed. It is also important to remember that Grains can cause digestive and infamatory problems in some people.
Our Final Say
Cream of Wheat may not be unhealthy but it is still not Paleo-friendly. We recommend looking for safer alternatives like Eggs or other basic breakfast foods.
