breakfast cereal
Breakfast cereal is a food product made from processed grains such as oats, wheat, corn, or rice. It is typically shaped into flakes, loops, puffs, or clusters and often fortified with vitamins and minerals. Usually consumed with milk or yogurt, cereal provides a convenient and quick source of carbohydrates and energy to start the day. It is a popular breakfast choice due to its variety of flavors, textures, and ease of preparation. Many cereals are also marketed towards children, featuring colorful packaging and sweetened options, but there are also healthier, whole-grain varieties for adults.
