our cereals are made with whole grain


Because whole grain is important to health, we make every Cheerios® cereal with whole grain.

Whole grain packs a powerful punch. The plant nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber in whole grain work together to help keep you healthy. Yet, with all their benefits, nine out of 10 Americans don’t get the recommended three servings of whole grain each day.

The 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend that Americans consume three or more servings of whole grain each day (for a total of at least 48 grams of whole grain). A convenient way to get more whole grain is to eat cereals made with whole grain. Every Cheerios cereal is a "good" (at least 8 grams of whole grain per serving) or "excellent" (at least 16 grams of whole grain per serving) source of whole grain.

Start your day the healthy whole grain way!
