National Cereal Day - get bowl spoon ready..!!!
Every year on march 7th, we should prepare our bowl spoons for National Cereal Day! Cereal has emerged as the most popular breakfast item in America since the end of the 19th century. Cereal is now not only consumed for breakfast but also as a common evening snack. Some even like to have a bowl for dinner each night. Cereal is a common ingredient in cake, cookie, and bar recipes. Rice Crispy Bar Treats is the most well-liked.
A Brief history of Cereals: In the rear of a modest Akron, Ohio, business, Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, started the cereal revolution in 1854 using a manual oat grinder. The first commercial oatmeal manufacturer in the country was his German Mills American Oatmeal Company. The Quaker sign was selected by Schumacher in 1877, marking the inception of a morning cereal trademark registration.
In 1863, james Caleb Jackson, the owner of Our home on the Hillside—which was eventually replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York—invented granula, the first breakfast cereal in American history. Because the thick bran nuggets required an overnight soak to become sufficiently supple, the cereal was never very popular.
Sincere religious convictions and economic desire in healthful meals came together to create the cereal industry. Dr. john Harvey Kellogg conducted granola experiments. He obtained a patent in 1891 after boiling some wheat, rolling it into thin films, and baking the resulting flakes in the oven. He introduced Cornflakes in 1895, and the product quickly became popular across the country. William K. Kellogg, the brother of Dr. john Harvey Kellogg, left the company in 1906 after working for john and purchasing the rights to cornflakes from his brother. He then founded the Battle Creek Toasted corn Flake Company. His autograph on each package served as both the company's quality guarantee and trademark. In 1898, Charles W. Post launched Grape-nuts, and shortly after, he released Post Toasties. In honor of Kellogg and Post, Battle Creek, Michigan is known as the "Cereal capital of the World."
