For the last two weeks we have been talking about the benefits of eating cereal for breakfast. I know that I have learned a lot and I am sure you have too! Here are a few more facts from General Mills:
Did you know?
- Cereal is a great breakfast option because it is the number one dietary source of many key nutrients including iron, zinc and folic acid. Frequent cereal eaters tend to have better nutrient intakes.
- A typical breakfast contributes more than 30 percent of needed calcium, iron and B vitamins while delivering less than 20 percent of daily calories.
- In addition, ready-to-eat cereal is the top source of whole grain in kids´ diets.
Big G is the only leading line of kids’ cereals to contain at least 8 grams of whole grain (48 grams recommended daily) and a good source of both calcium and vitamin D in every serving. In addition, cereal is an inexpensive but nutrient-dense option. On average, a bowl of cereal with milk is approximately 50 cents per serving. Since we all use coupons, I know that our cost per serving is way less than that!
