100% would make again

We love the heartiness of this nutritious cooked cereal, seasoned with cinnamon and loaded with chopped fruit and nuts. We like it served with plain yogurt and sliced bananas or blueberries. It will start your day right! —John Vale, Hardin, Montana

The "cereal" is ground whole grains, i.e., wheat berries, barley, quinoa, flax, oats (or any other number of grains) that have been ground to about the same texture/consistency as ground coffee. Bob's Red Mill is one brand that has a 7 grain cereal. Again, you are looking for grains that have simply been ground, not made into any other type of flake, puff, or other boxed breakfast cereal.

melshy19 - 7 grain cereal is the actual grains. you can usually find it in the hot cereal or health food sections of the grocery store or at the health food store.

Okay I'm throughly confused on what constitutes "Cereal". I used 7 grain puffs from Kashi and it did not absorb the liquid and was runny....is the cereal flakes, oatmeal? I would love to make this but am stumped on what is the "cereal" here.

Can someone shed some light for me?
