Breakfast cereal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A breakfast cereal (often simply called cereal) is a packaged food product made from cereal intended to be consumed as part of a breakfast. It is usually eaten cold as a ready-to-eat meal and mixed with a liquid, such as milk or water, though occasionally yoghurt and fruit are also added. The exception to the rule are cereals such as oatmeal and porridge, which are eaten hot.

Breakfast cereals are marketed to all ages. For adults, companies such as Kellogg's, Quaker Oats, Post, Nestlé, and General Mills promote their products for the health benefits gained from eating oat-based and high-fiber cereals. Manufacturers often fortify breakfast cereals with various vitamins. Cereals with relatively high sugar content are also produced.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, at least that's what we hear from the diet and health experts. I am not going to argue. Besides, I love breakfast anyway. So there is no arm twisting to get me to eat when I wake up in the morning.

Among my favorite cereals I like to eat for breakfast, raisin bran, granola, and shredded wheat are tops with me. I also like an occasional bowl of cream of wheat or cracked wheat cereal (mush). I won't turn down a good poached egg or omelet, and some toast, either. But when it comes to breakfast, I love cold cereals.
