Cereal is a popular American breakfast staple made from grains like wheat, oats, rice or corn. Grains are poured into a hopper or mixing kettle, followed by adding delicious flavors, vitamins and extra ingredients like nuts, fruits or marshmallows. Cereal is most commonly enjoyed by the bowl with dairy or non-dairy milk, but also makes a great midday snack and is a secret ingredient in many delicious recipes.
