Why is it feminine?

Harina is feminine because it derives from Latin "farina," which was feminine in gender, and Spanish retained this grammatical gender. The Latin word "farina" (flour, meal) was feminine and descended from "far" (grain, spelt), also feminine. Spanish maintains the feminine gender in words ending in -a, which is the typical feminine ending in Spanish.
