Munch
some cereal today in honor of Mr. Post, one of America's first and
most famous cereal manufacturers.
Post
was born on this date in 1854, growing up in the hometown of Abraham
Lincoln, in Illinois. As an adult, he began to manufacture farm
implements.
However, he fell ill and suffered several breakdowns and also digestive woes. Eventually he went to the sanitarium owned by the Kellogg brothers. He was impressed by the corn flakes he ate there and, after resuming his life outside of the sanitarium, Post started a new company to manufacture his own version of breakfast cereal.
The
first product is still around – and is one of my favorites: Grape
Nuts. Post followed up with “Elijah's Manna,” a corn flake
cereal, which he soon renamed “Post Toasties.” Post now sells
more than 15 varieties of cereal. I say “more than 15” because I
am only counting Great Grains once, but there are six different
flavors!
Yummy

Cereal
is a favorite breakfast choice for many – and some people eat it as
a snack or dessert as well! However, before stocking up on our
favorite cereals, we should check the ingredients and nutritional
information carefully because, like any processed food, cereal can be
high on delicious while low on nutritious.
 |
| Yeah, when a cereal is named for a not-very-natural, not-very- healthy dessert, it's probably not going to be on the most-nutritious list! |
Here
is a website with a sortable list comparing a variety of cereals.
The “best” list includes Post's Grape Nuts and also Shredded
Wheat. The “worst” list includes some other Post cereals,
probably invented by people long after Mr. Post died, during the modern era
of the super-sugary cereal: Oreo Os, Waffle Crisp, Cocoa Pebbles, and
Fruity Pebbles.
Yummly
offers a lot of recipes using Grape Nuts: cookies, muffins, cereal
bars, bread, pudding, and much, much more!
Or
make your own homemade version of Grape Nuts!
