About CEREAL
Alpha-Bits cereal has been a children's staple for decades, featuring alphabet-shaped pieces made primarily from whole grain oat flour and sugar. Annatto provides the pale golden color without artificial dyes, which is a small point in its favor over many competitors. The sweetness is front and center, though whole grain oat flour as the first ingredient does give it a slight nutritional edge over purely corn-based alternatives. Fortified with iron and B vitamins, it sits in familiar sugary-cereal territory.
