About THE ORIGINAL CEREAL
Grape-Nuts Original is four ingredients: whole grain wheat flour, malted barley flour, salt, dried yeast. Fiber and protein are both high relative to most cereals, and both come from the whole grain rather than from added concentrates. Fat is negligible. The pellets are dense and hard - they soften with milk but never go truly soggy. It has a malty, subtly sweet flavor with no added sugar. One of the few mainstream cereals where the nutrition label reflects genuinely whole food ingredients.
