About Cereal

Cereal is a popular breakfast dish typically made from processed grains such as wheat, oats, corn, or rice. Originating as a convenience food in the late 19th century in Western cuisine, it has since become a global breakfast staple. Many cereals are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, B vitamins, and folic acid, offering a convenient way to boost nutrient intake. Whole-grain options provide dietary fiber, which supports digestive health and helps maintain energy levels. However, certain cereals can be high in added sugars and artificial ingredients, making them less healthy if consumed frequently. Choosing varieties with minimal added sugar, higher fiber content, and whole grains can make cereal a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. Typically paired with milk or plant-based alternatives, cereal offers versatility and a quick way to fuel your day.
