About Whole wheat cereal

Whole wheat cereal is a cereal food identified as containing whole wheat, but the name does not specify its shape, ingredients, or whether it is ready-to-eat or requires preparation. It may be encountered as a breakfast cereal or another cereal product.

Texture can range from crisp or flaked to dense or soft, depending on processing and preparation. The wheat flavour and appearance also vary; added ingredients, if any, cannot be inferred from this broad catalogue name.
