Could you tell the story of the first breakfast man ever ate?
Do you know about John Harvey Kellogg's lucky accident that
gave birth to the Corn Flake? Probably not. Yet the story of
breakfast is a long and complex tale that spans continents and
millennia. Here we show you a brief timeline of the history of
breakfast and the early beginnings of what came to be one
of the most popular breakfast foods – breakfast cereals.
Today, breakfast cereals are still based on natural grains –
wheat, maize, rice, barley, oats and rye. Made from either flour
or whole grains, they contain all of the basic nutrients that we
need to start the day: carbohydrates, protein, fat, minerals,
vitamins and fibre.
