Munchnsome cereal today in honor of Mr. Post, one of America’s first andnmost famous cereal manufacturers.n
n
n
n
n
nPostnwas born on this date in 1854, growing up in the hometown of AbrahamnLincoln, in Illinois. As an adult, he began to manufacture farmnimplements.
n
nHowever, he fell ill and suffered several breakdowns andnalso digestive woes. Eventually he went to the sanitarium owned bynthe Kellogg brothers. He was impressed by the corn flakes he atenthere and, after resuming his life outside of the sanitarium, Postnstarted a new company to manufacture his own version of breakfastncereal.
n
n
n
n
n
nThenfirst product is still around – and is one of my favorites: GrapenNuts. Post followed up with “Elijah’s Manna,” a corn flakencereal, which he soon renamed “Post Toasties.” Post now sellsnmore than 15 varieties of cereal. I say “more than 15” because Inam only counting Great Grains once, but there are six differentnflavors!

n
n
n
n
n
nCerealnis a favorite breakfast choice for many – and some people eat it asna snack or dessert as well! However, before stocking up on ournfavorite cereals, we should check the ingredients and nutritionalninformation carefully because, like any processed food, cereal can benhigh 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! |
n
nHerenis a website with a sortable list comparing a variety of cereals.n The “best” list includes Post’s Grape Nuts and also ShreddednWheat. The “worst” list includes some other Post cereals,nprobably invented by people long after Mr. Post died, during the modern eranof the super-sugary cereal: Oreo Os, Waffle Crisp, Cocoa Pebbles, andnFruity Pebbles.
n
n
n
n
n
nYummlynoffers a lot of recipes using Grape Nuts: cookies, muffins, cerealnbars, bread, pudding, and much, much more!

n
n
n
n
nOrnmake your own homemade version of Grape Nuts!
