Answer 3

The first modern and commercial cereal foods were created by the American Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventists formed the Western Health Reform Institute in the 1860s. The Institute was later renamed the Battle Creek Sanitarium after its location in Battle Creek, Michigan. The Adventists manufactured, promoted, and sold wholesome cereals.

Cereal or grain is a member of the grass plant family, with starchy seeds used for food. Common cereals are: wheat, rice, rye, oats, barley, corn (maize), and sorghum.

Will Keith Kellogg
Will Keith Kellogg was the founder of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, founded in 1906. In 1894, Kellogg was trying to improve the diet of hospital patients. He was searching for a digestible bread substitute using the process of boiling wheat. Kellogg accidentally left a pot of boiled wheat to stand and the wheat became tempered (soften). When Kellogg rolled the tempered or softened wheat and let it dry, each grain of wheat emerged as a large thin flake. The flakes turned out to be a tasty cereal. Kellogg had invented corn flakes.

Kellogg received his M.D. from Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York City, in 1875. He was a Seventh-day Adventist. (Kellogg's Company)

C(harles) W(illiam) Post
American manufacturer noted for his development of breakfast cereals.

Cheerios
"The year was 1941 and America's first ready-to-eat oat cereal with crisp doughnut-like rings was arriving on store shelves. The introduction of the seven-ounce box of Cheerioats was a major event for General Mills."

Cereal Advertising Icon Toys
Since the Quaker Oats man became the first registered breakfast cereal trademark in 1877, breakfast cereals have been synonymous with characters like Tony the Tiger of Kelloggs, the Trix Rabbit, and Post's Sugar Bear.

Answer 4

i've got self belief that Wheaties or particular ok have been between the 1st, around the turn of the century 1900. It became around a similar time as Baseball grew to become common, and Baseball stars could tell teenagers to "devour their wheaties"

Answer 5

This is quite debatable, since cereal originated long before the stuff in a box.
Porridge, (or porage) is a good example, as it can be made with oatmeal, hemp, rice, wheat, barley, rye, cornmeal or crushed hominy.

EDIT:
Hibiscus (above me) is correct, if you're referring to what is "called" cereal in this day. Matter of factly, it was called Granula, not cereal. It's like stone-age grape nuts, in a sense.

Answer 6

The first breakfast cereal, Granula (named after granules) was invented in 1863 by James Caleb Jackson.
