Advantages: healthy AND tasty

Disadvantages: hard to find

Grape nuts are a type of breakfast cereal. Confusingly, they contain neither grape nor nut, in fact I'm surprised someone hasn't complained about them under the Trades Description Act yet. They are in fact 'crunch wheat and malted barley' and according to the box 'high in fibre, low in fat'. The taste is difficult to describe, wheaty but definitley also malty, very different from Shredded Wheat for example. The taste also changes when you put them in milk, they become more creamy perhaps. I always have them with cold milk though I know some who prefer it with warm. They are very heavy and filling, and would defiitely keep you full up to lunch time unlike some I could mention *cough, Rice Krispies*. As, they are so filling I advise just fillng your bowl half or two-thirds of the level you normally would. With a servng of cold milk they really are enjoyable especially as they are so crunch and importantly, especially considering the time it takes to get through a bowlful, they do not go soggy. They contain no added sugar and are amonst the healthier options in the cereal isle like the porridge. The white box is small - 450g - as the servings are small - so you may have to look carefully. That said, it is hard to come across, even the big Tesco and Sainsburys near me don't have it. I was given this as a child and had come to the conclusion that it was discontinued, then where should I see it but Poundland. What a surprise, and what a bargain. Needless to say I have stocked up and already finished four boxes hee hee.....

Summary: go and buy it now, go on
