Cereals, grains or cereal grains, are grasses (members of the monocot families Poaceae or Gramineae) cultivated for the edible components of their fruit seeds (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis) - the endocarp, germ and bran. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop; they are therefore staple crops. In their natural form (as in whole grain), they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and oils, and protein. However, when refined by the removal of the bran and germ, the remaining endocarp is mostly carbohydrate and lacks the majority of the other nutrients. In some developing nations, grain in the form of rice, wheat, or maize (in American terminology, corn) constitutes a majority of daily sustenance. In developed nations, cereal consumption is more moderate and varied but still substantial. The word cereal derives from Ceres, the name of the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture.

Q. and also the cereal. My pediatrician told me to start the cereals at 5mths and solids at 6mths...does this sound about right? Asked by ~ Mallory's Mommy ~ - Fri Dec 5 18:03:15 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. Okay, racking the memory here. Older daughter, tried to start her at around 4-5 months on cereals. Did not show much interest. Eventually got her to eat cereal and then introduced fruits. They usually ended up on my shoulder. At 6 months, while on vacation, we noticed that she was trying to grab forks and spoons from us and we said, okay, lets try fruit again. She took to it immediately. Younger daughter, completely different story. She was a bigger baby to start, refused to be supplemented with formula and we started cereal at around 4 months and she loved it. Slowly introduced the strained baby food and had no problems. The only foods I would not give them was the strained meats. They didn't appeal to me and I didn't think they would… [cont.] Answered by enki90 - Fri Dec 5 18:11:47 2008 Are cereals such as cookie crisp and Cinnamon toast crunch an acceptable breakfast for a child? Q. And other yummy cereals? What is a nutritious breakfast for a child? Asked by Mean people suck! - Sat Aug 22 21:19:32 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. I admit that I sometimes fall into the habit of giving my children only cereal for breakfast--it's quick and easy and they love it. However, something I've done to balance it out is to give them first a bowl of oatmeal or cream of wheat or even cracked whole wheat with milk and a little brown sugar (a little, less than a spoonful) before they can have their second bowl of "sweetened cereal" )what we call it around here. That way they still get the yummy cereal but have a more filling wholesome breakfast. They also usually have some juice (no more than 5 ounces) and toast on the side. I also try to rotate that with eggs. I try to do an ever-other-day thing, so one morning they'll have cereal (oatmeal and cereal) and the next day they' [cont.] Answered by royalbird - Sat Aug 22 21:48:04 2009 Who's brilliant decision was it to switch all the good breakfast cereals over to Whole Grain???
Q. I'm mad because they screwed up Honey Nut Chex which was my favoite cereal. Now it tastes like Honey Nut Cardboard. Even worse most the cereals I used to enjoy as a child, taste horrible now. I understand about the health conscious consumers, but why not make a whole grain version for them, and the orginal. Lawsuits? No one forced them to eat that brand of cereal.

It seems we can get more nutrition from actually eating the cardboard box the cereal is packaged in than from all the c**p they put in cereals nowadays.
