Cheerios are produced in a factory. General Mills takes whole grain oat flour and then adds in some more oat bran and oat fiber (as well as a little sugar and salt.)

This causes the circles to expand as water inside turns to steam. The puffed pieces are further dried, then vitamins and minerals are sprayed on and they are dried again. Some varieties have a sugar or honey coating added. The product is over 75 years old and is one of the most popular breakfast cereals. It is commonly fed to children dry as a snack because it is safe, easy to eat and nutritious. 9. Cookie Recipes using Cheerios.
