Buying Tips

Hot cereals can be purchased in ready-to-cook form in packages, as well as in the bulk section of most health food or grocery stores.

Varieties

Nearly any grain can be cooked into hot cereal. Look for grits, meal, bran, germ, oats, flakes, and other forms.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Cooking procedures and times vary slightly according to the type of grain, and whether it is a regular or instant variety. Prepare hot cereal with milk or water, and follow the directions on the package. Add dried fruit, chopped walnuts, or crushed flaxseeds to hot cereal, or top cooked cereal with fresh fruit. Combine several varieties of grain for maximum flavor and nutrition. Although best known as a breakfast food, hot cereal can be enjoyed in the afternoon or evening, too.

Storing

Store cereal in sealed glass or plastic containers, or in tightly sealed plastic bags, in a cool, dark cupboard.
