Plain Cheerios, produced by General Mills, are a classic breakfast cereal made primarily from whole grain oats. Originating in the United States, they were introduced in 1941 and have remained a staple for their simplicity and versatility. Cheerios are low in sugar, cholesterol-free, and offer a good source of dietary fiber—thanks to their whole grain content—making them a heart-healthy choice endorsed by the American Heart Association. With only a few ingredients, they include oat flour, corn starch, sugar, salt, and tripotassium phosphate, along with added vitamins and minerals like iron and vitamin D. Cheerios are free from artificial flavors and preservatives, offering a minimally processed option for various diets. However, they are not gluten-free and contain a small amount of sugar, which may be worth considering for stricter dietary plans. Enjoy them on their own or with milk and fruit for a wholesome start to your day.
