What is National Cereal Day?
Each year, National Cereal Day is March 7th, so we should get our bowl spoons ready for National Cereal Day. Since the end of the 19th century, cereal has been America's most popular breakfast dish.
Now, not only is cereal used for breakfast, but it has also become a common bedtime snack. Some people even like a bowl for an evening meal. Bakers are switching to cereal in their cake, cookie, and bar recipes. Rice Crispy Bar Treats is the most popular one.
A little cereal history: a little cereal history:
In 1854, Ferdinand Schumacher, a German immigrant, started the cereal revolution with a hand oats grinder in a back room of a small store in Akron, Ohio. His German Mills American Oatmeal Company was the country's first commercial oatmeal manufacturer. Schumacher introduced the Quaker symbol in 1877, the first registered trademark for a breakfast cereal.
Granula, the first breakfast cereal, was introduced in the United States by James Caleb Jackson, the owner of Our Home on the Hillside, in 1863, but the Jackson Sanatorium in Dansville, New York, was later replaced by the Jackson Sanatorium in 1863. The cereal never became popular because it was inconvenient, as the heavy bran nuggets needed soaking overnight before they were tender enough to eat.
