Short History or Invention of Cereal food –
CEREAL is a 6 letter word that starts with C.
First Cereal was invented in year 1829 by clergyman Sylvester Graham, the cereal was called as Graham cracker.
Graham cracker is a slightly sweet, usually rectangular cracker made with whole-wheat flour.
The first packaged breakfast cereal Granula was invented in the United States in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson operator of the Jackson Sanitorium in Dansville, New York
The cereal never became popular; it was far too inconvenient, as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat.
The names “Granula” (trademarked by Jackson) and “Granola” (trademarked by Kellogg) were trademarked for foods consisting of “natural herb products crumbled and then baked until crispy.”
In 1860 Seventh-Day Adventists, who also believed in vegetarianism, founded the Western Health Reform Institute in Battle Creek, Michigan.
The Institute was later renamed the Battle Creek Sanitarium after its location in Battle Creek, Michigan.
At this institute, physician John Harvey Kellogg invented several grain-based meat substitutes.
In 1877, John Harvey Kellogg, invented a biscuit made of ground-up wheat, oat, and cornmeal for his patients suffering from bowel problems.
The product was initially also named "Granula", but changed to "Granola" after a lawsuit.
The bookkeeper and manger of the Battle Creek Sanitarium was John's brother, Will Keith Kellogg.
The brothers worked together to develop more grain-based vegetarian options
Accidental Invention of Famous Cereal by Kellogg Brothers –
1894 – Brothers used to make wheatmeal for patients.
To make it, they would run boiled wheat through rollers to create a very thin cracker-type sheet. They would then roast the sheet and grind it into meal.
One night that the brothers left a batch of boiled wheat out and forgot about it.
The next day, they ran it through the rollers to see if the stale wheat would be salvageable once it was ground.
Instead of a unified flat sheet, the wheat came out as flakes
They roasted the flakes and served them to their patients. They had an immediate success on their hands.
Kellogg had invented corn flakes.
In 1894 - Charles William Post started La Vita Inn.
There, he set to work on creating his own chicory coffee substitute and breakfast cereals.
1897 - Later he started to sell his own Granula - we know it today as Grape-nuts - an easier to chew derivative of Dr. James Caleb Jackson's original cereal.
Later he introduced own brand of corn flakes, which he called "Elijah's Manna". The cereal was a big seller... once he changed the name to Post Toasties.
In 1906, Will bought out his brother's portion of the cereal patents and went on to create the Kellogg Company.
Rice Krispies were introduced by Kellogg in 1929.
To avoid confusion with his competitors products, WK Kellogg had his name and signature scripted on each package of Kellogg’s® Corn Flakes along the explanation “The original has this signature"
In 1953, Kellogg's introduced Sugar Smacks, aptly named because it contained 56 percent sugar.
In the 1930s, the first puffed cereal, Kix, went on the market.
1941 - The introduction of the seven-ounce box of Cheerioats was a major event for General Mills."
Quaker Oats man became the first registered breakfast cereal trademark in 1877, breakfast cereals have been synonymous with characters like Tony the Tiger of Kellogg’s, the Trix Rabbit, and Post's Sugar Bear.
Because of Kellogg and Post, the city of Battle Creek, Michigan is nicknamed the "Cereal Capital of the World"
Cereal food means a healthy food, healthy breakfast.
