What it is
Post Shredded Wheat is a breakfast cereal made from 100% whole grain wheat. It is formed into dense biscuits, offering a hearty and satisfying start to the day. The texture is firm and chewy, designed to hold up well in milk. This cereal is a simple and straightforward option for those seeking a whole grain breakfast.
How people cook with it
This cereal is commonly enjoyed as a breakfast food. It can also be incorporated into other dishes.
- Breakfast with milk
- Topping for yogurt
- Ingredient in baked goods
- Snack on its own
To enjoy as a breakfast cereal, pour the desired amount into a bowl and add milk. The biscuits will soften slightly in the milk, but retain a firm texture. For a different experience, try crumbling the biscuits and using them as a topping for yogurt or fruit.
