To prepare this cereal for breakfast, pour a serving into a bowl. Add your preferred liquid, such as milk or a plant-based alternative, to cover the cereal. Allow it to soak for a moment if you prefer a softer texture, or enjoy it immediately for maximum crunch. It can also be eaten dry as a snack.
