About Cereals ready-to-eat, wheat, puffed, fortified
Breakfast cereal is a popular morning food made from processed grains such as corn, wheat, oats, or rice, shaped into flakes, puffs, rings, biscuits, and clusters. Ready-to-eat cold cereals are typically served with milk, while hot cereals like oatmeal are cooked, making cereal one of the quickest and most convenient breakfasts. Nutrition varies widely by product, from whole-grain, high-fiber options to heavily sweetened types, and many cereals are fortified with added vitamins and minerals such as iron, folic acid, and B vitamins.
Choosing varieties higher in whole grains and fiber and lower in added sugar makes for a more wholesome start to the day. Beyond the breakfast bowl, cereal is eaten as a snack and used in bars, baked goods, and treats. Store breakfast cereal in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry to keep it crisp.
