About Wheaties Cereal
Whole grain wheat leads the Wheaties ingredient list, which keeps fiber respectable and puts it well ahead of most sweetened cereals. Sugar and corn syrup are present but not dominant. The fortification is comprehensive, covering most major micronutrients. Without added fat it is a lean, moderately filling breakfast option, though it depends on milk or toppings to add staying power. The spare, slightly nutty flavor rewards people who do not want their cereal tasting like dessert.
