The Original Grape Nuts, 20.5 OZ

You’d spot this box in the cereal aisle or reach for it on a rushed weekday morning — it reads like a classic, hearty breakfast option with a crunchy, dense texture that evokes a nostalgic, wholesome vibe. The dry, compact nuggets and the ingredient note of added vitamins point to industrial processing (extrusion/baking and fortification) rather than a simple whole-food product. That processing explains the signature crunch, shelf stability, and presence of added nutrients and modest sugars/sodium that are typical clues of more heavily processed breakfast cereals.
