View PricingThe First Breakfast Cereal
The first breakfast cereal was invented in the late 19th century by James Caleb Jackson, a religiously motivated vegetarian who aimed to promote healthy eating and good digestion. Jackson's invention, called 'Granula,' was made of dense, tasteless bran nuggets. This early form of cereal required soaking overnight to soften before consumption. While it had nutritional benefits, it was not appetizing to most people, and the product did not gain widespread popularity.
The true breakthrough in the breakfast cereal industry came in 1894 when Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, a physician and director of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, created 'Corn Flakes.' Kellogg accidentally discovered the process of flaking corn while attempting to make a type of bread substitute. The flakes were created by boiling wheat and rolling it out flat before baking it. The result was a light, crispy cereal that was both nutritious and delicious.
Kellogg's Corn Flakes quickly gained popularity, and Dr. Kellogg started producing them commercially in 1906. He and his brother William Kellogg launched the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which later became the Kellogg Company. To market their product, they offered free samples, introduced colorful packaging, and advertised the health benefits of the cereal, including aiding digestion and promoting overall well-being.
The success of Corn Flakes led to a rapid growth in the breakfast cereal market. Other companies began creating their own versions, and by the early 20th century, there was a wide range of cereals available to consumers. Some of the earliest popular cereals included Wheaties, Shredded Wheat, and Grape-Nuts.
As the breakfast cereal industry expanded, companies started introducing various flavors, shapes, and types of cereal. Some focused on health benefits, while others added sugar and flavorings to attract customers. Cereal became a convenient and popular breakfast choice, especially for busy households.
Today, the breakfast cereal market continues to thrive, with numerous brands and flavors available to suit different preferences and dietary needs. While the first breakfast cereal, Granula, was far from appetizing, it paved the way for the development of the beloved and diverse range of cereals we enjoy today.
