Which cereals are made with whole grain?

Cereals made with whole grain are labeled “whole” before the grain in question. You can also find whole grain by looking for the white check mark on all of General Mills Big G Cereals.

Cereal is already one of the healthiest breakfast choices you can make. The entire Big G cereal line is made with whole grain, making breakfast even healthier.

Whole grain means the complete grain, including the bran, the germ and the endosperm. The health benefits of whole grain come from those three components working together in their natural proportions.

The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 recommend that you eat at least half of all grains as whole grain. The guidelines state that foods with considerable amounts of whole grain provide at least 8 grams of whole grain.
