What You Should Know

You'd find a 20.5 oz box of POST The Original Grape Nuts in the cereal aisle, grabbed for quick breakfasts, baking, or as a familiar pantry staple. It carries a nostalgic, 'wholesome' vibe with a dense, crunchy texture, but the added isolated vitamins and minerals and the industrially uniform crunch reveal significant processing typical of modern breakfast cereals.
