About Breakfast cereal

Breakfast cereal is a broad category of prepared grain-based foods commonly eaten as a breakfast dish. Products can be flakes, puffed pieces, clusters, or other shapes, and may use different grains and include additional ingredients such as sweeteners or flavourings.

It is commonly served with milk or another accompaniment, or eaten dry. Texture, colour, and flavour vary widely across products, so the category name does not specify a recipe or nutritional profile; the individual product label is needed for those details.
