About ORIGINAL LIGHTLY SWEETENED WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL, ORIGINAL
Frosted Mini-Wheats Original keeps things simple: whole grain wheat, sugar, a little brown rice syrup for binding, and gelatin to hold the layers together. Whole grain wheat is the dominant ingredient, and fiber is high for a ready-to-eat cereal. Protein is modest but present. The sugar coating adds sweetness but the overall profile is considerably more fiber-rich than most cereals marketed to children or families. It's one of the more honest offerings in the sweetened cereal aisle, providing real whole grain content alongside the sweetness.
