Cereals

I love cereal. I’m one of those stand-in-the-kitchen-and-eat-straight-from-the-box cereal eaters. From granola to crunchy frosted flakes, I eat it all. Taste and test proven, here are the top cereals pre/post run: 7. Honey Bunches of Oats Ok, I grew up on this stuff. It’s so good, so crunchy and honey-y and of course oaty. The Bunches people [...]

Cereal is the name given to those seeds used as food (wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, rice, etc.), which are produced by plants belonging to the vast order known as the grass family. They are used for food both in the unground state and in various forms of mill products.The grains are pre-eminently nutritious, and when well prepared, easily digested foods. In composition they are all similar, but

Bread, cereals and other grain products can often be the most confusing to buy, and healthy sounding phrases on their packages (Health Nut, 12-Grain, and more) don't make it any easier. For the best bet, ignore the claims on the front of the box and go straight to the nutrition label.Whole wheat bread. To make sure you're buying whole grain bread (which is superior in nutrition and arguably, flavo

So it’s not exactly candy, but an Addict’s gotta have some reason to wake up in the morning. Sure, grabbing a Snickers and calling it a morning meal is always an option, but for those nutritionally-minded readers looking to load up on vitamins and minerals before noon (I kid, I kid – we all [...]

Most women trying to be thin and lose weight don’t eat bread. But in reality coarse meal bread and whole grain bread can reduce the risk of breast cancer in young women. This has been found due to a seven-year study of 35000 women. According to the researchers, 350 patients developed malignant breast tumor before menopause. All of them consumed food rich in proteins instead of fibers. As a result, this type of diet was one of the causes of breast cancer. Pr. Janet Cade from University of Leeds claims, that nutrition can have a dramatic impact on cancer development in young women. The researchers did not find the link between diet and breast cancer for older women, but before menopause particular diets contribute to breast cancer. This means, that those prefe

Eating and snacking on high fiber cereals is one of the best ways to maintain a low fat high fiber diet. If you are looking for a high fiber cereal try to choose a cereal that has at least 5 grams of fiber per serving. Because so many people are learning about the importance of fiber the cereal companies are doing an excellent job creating many high fiber cereals. Below you will find a list of some high fiber cereals.

Yeah, breakfast cereals are easy and hassle-free in the mornings and well, you like them! I know! Just pour them out of the box and into the bowl, pour some milk and voila! Breakfast in a bowl. You’re right to say they’re easy; I won’t argue. You might think they’re a healthy way to start [...]

I am really impressed with Kraft. This is a story more about Private-Label Cereal Maker Ralcorp but what I see is a great job by Kraft's CEO Irene Rosenfeld. She has done what many big conglomerates fail to do, focus on their core competency. Irene Rosenfeld has launched a massive turnaround effort aimed at revitalizing sales of the company's brands and is shedding slow-growing divisions to better focus the portfolio of the world's second-largest food company. Kraft said if the deal is conducted through a spin off, it expects shares

Kraft (KFT) will merger its Post cereals division into Ralcorp (RAH). The transaction is tax-efficient and worth approximately $2.6 billion to Kraft and its... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Everyone is going organic, and this includes that of what they wear, eat or use. Breakfast times for most kids would normally be associated with eating cereal. But basing it on how people have turned anything edible we consume today into the organically set standards, the question on whether these said cereals are complete and possess the necessary vitamins and nutrients normally present in them has been put into question. So how do the parents or guardians go about this? Well for one, there is always the nutritional facts label usually found at the back or side of the box to which consumers can refer to. Before buying any organic cereal, it would be best to read the fine print before shelling out those dollar bills.

This the 3rd dish for my husband's birthday dinner. The 4th was a dessert (please see the next post) .My husband and I love a particular dish from Bi Feng Tang 避风塘 (literally translated as "Storm Shelter" in Chinese), Soft Shell Crab Bi Feng Tang Special. So on his birthday, I cooked this for him. An extra big plate some more. What you see here was only 1/5 of the whole dish. Yeah, I cooked that much. That's how much we, including my son, enjoyed that dish. *wink*By the way, you can use the same method to cook with prawns or squid. I had also tried replacing cereals with oats too. Tasty too.Ingredients:500g Soft Shell Crabs, halfOil for fryingMarinade:1 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine1/2 teaspoon Salt1 tablespoon Corn Floura dash of PepperFlour Coating (not batter, DO NOT ADD WATER) :3 part Corn Flour1 part Rice FlourSeasoning:3 tablespoon Butter6 tablespoon Cereals (I used Nestle's Nestum Cereals)1/2 tablespoon Garlic, minced1/2 tablespoon Shallot, sliced1 tablespoon Sugar3

Here were our contenders for the Kashi vs. Fiber One smackdown (from top left, going clockwise): Kashi Go Lean Crunch Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters Kashi 7 Whole Grain Puffs Kashi Go Lean TasteMy four-year-daughter Lucie (aka "Boo Girl") and I sat down and sampled three Kashi cereals and General Mills' new Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters. We did not try the cereals with milk - Lucie likes her cereal dry and crunchy. Fine with me. Based on taste alone, Lucie liked the Kashi Go Lean Crunch. I preferred the Fiber One Raisin Bran Clusters. Both were yummy, but Fiber One has a maple syrup flavor that won me over. I liked the added raisins, too. Kashi Go Lean was pretty good, but Kashi Puffs are pretty boring. You'll need honey, milk, yogurt and/or fruit to dress it up.

My favorite morning boxes-o-sugar:Lucky Charms - Good with milk, good without! Colorful AND full of REALLY bad sugar!

Shopping has become a minefield since the local store rearranged their stock. Now breakfast cereals are next to cat food. It’s madness. The packaging is too similar, you can’t tell where cereals end and cat food begins. I live in a panic that I will pour milk over my breakfast one day and discover I’m eating Whiskas. Hope they move it all back again soon. Otherwise I’ll have to start having cooked breakfasts.

I love breakfast it's the best meal of the day and I've never seen anyone mess it up. Toast, sausage, waffles, pancakes, it's all wonderful--and though I like to cook hot, fun breakfasts the most popular breakfast around here is of course cold cereal. But despite its health benefits as a morning food every night between 9:30 and 10:00pm AST Andrew can be seen clutching his regular cold cereal night cap.Here are the favorites and if you happen to live somewhere where these aren't available . . . all I can say is "I'm really sorry. Really sorry. Have you thought about moving?"1. Life. Cinnamon variety to be specific. Otherwise you have to dump too much sugar on it to be worth your while. Lovely stuff.2. Frosted Flakes. Andrew doesn't like these, he says they stick in his teeth too much (and isn't that a pleasant thought?) I disagree and think they're . . . grrrrrrreat!3. Chex. Rice or corn, not so much Wheat Chex, it just tastes a little too healthy for me. You could

Unlike alot of people, I love porridge. Often when I tell friends this, they screw up their faces which suggests to me that it’s not a favourite of many. So, I was pleased to read this article today. Researchers from Harvard Medical School have identified that those who eat whole-grain cereals for breakfast have a 28 per cent lower risk of developing heart failure. You need to be eating it 7 or more times a week, according to the report which is kind of interesting seeing there are only 7 days in a week There’s good news for those who eat whole-grain less than 7 times a week though with the study showing that the risk of heart failure falls 22 per cent in those who eat the cereals two to six times a week and by 14 per cent in those who eat them up to once week. If you’re interested to learn what grains make up the whole-grain family, you can visit this link for further details: Healthful Whole Grains It’s good news for me. Now when I tell my friends that I

When I think of Special K cereal, I don’t normally imagine chocolate with it, but that’s about to change. As chocolate (particularly the antioxidant-rich dark variety of chocolate) gets touted as a health food, cereal companies are starting to hop onto a cacao-covered bandwagon. According to an article in USA Today, Kellogg and Quaker are going to push chocolate varieties of Special K and Life cereals: Special K Chocolatey Delight and Life Chocolate Oat Crunch. Apparently, these aren’t truly “breakfast” cereals as the companies are encouraging folks to indulge in something they’ve already been doing: late-night snacking on sweets. We already have a wide variety of chocolate cereals, but up until now, they’ve all been marketed for kids. My take? I’d still prefer curling up with a bowl of Cocoa Pebbles than a bowl of Special K, even if it is chocolatey Special K. USA Today: Healthy cereals to get taste of chocolate Special K Official Si

  General Mills, the nice folks who bring us many of our breakfast cereal favorites just announced that they are raising prices – again! The increase, according to the company will just be a few percentage points (Kellogg's raised their prices 5% earlier this year) but the reason is that they are making their boxes smaller! These changes will take effect June 25, 2007. The reason? Higher prices for corn, wheat and cocoa according to the company, but cereal companies who already have huge margins, need to give us a break already. We most certainly, based on past history, can expect the other companies to follow the Big G's lead. By the way…what ever happened to that congressional inquiry into the price of breakfast cereals that was started back in 2002? The profit margins of individual cereals are a closely guarded secret - but if we take a look at industry statistics (Source: UBS Warburg), the average cereal delivers about 17 % profit. While that might not sound lik
