TYPES OF CEREALS

• FLAKED CEREALS
• A typical formula containing pounds of
  grain, sugar, malt syrup,
• salt enough water to retain moisture
  after cooking. Too much
• moisture reduces crunchiness and too
  little moisture reduces
• breakage. Cooking time varies depending on
  the grain whether
• its corn, rice or wheat.

• 2) GUN-PUFFED WHOLE GRAINS
• Grain must be cooked, followed by a rapid
  pressure drop in the
• atmosphere surrounding the grain. The steam
  from the grain is
• released as the pressure within the grain
  tries to equilibrate with
• the lower pressure surrounding it. Rice and
  wheat are the grains
• used for gun-puffing. Puffing can be done
  with single or multiple
• shot guns. Puffed cereals rely on a
  coating ie, sugar to maintain a
• crisp texture.

  cereal consistency during

  mixing with yogurt, honey,
