Made from grains. Breakfast cereals are created by processing cereal grains like wheat, oats, rice, and corn into forms you can eat quickly with milk.

Quick morning fuel. These foods were designed to give you energy and nutrition fast, so you could start your day ready to go.

Western favorite. While breakfast cereals are eaten around the world today, they became especially popular in America and Europe.

Milk's best friend. Most breakfast cereals are eaten with milk poured over them, which adds calcium and creaminess to the crispy grains.

Colorful and fun. Many cereals are shaped like fun objects, frosted with sugar, or mixed with nuts and dried fruit to make breakfast exciting.
