breakfast cereal

A breakfast cereal is a food product marketed to consumers as a breakfast food. Breakfast cereals may be eaten cold and mixed with milk or yoghurt and fruit, or boiled like oatmeal. Although cereal foods such as porridge are a staple of daily meals in many countries around the world, in wealthier, consumer-conscious nations an entire industry has been created dedicated to the sale of breakfast cereals.
