Price Cereal Products Co. - 1917 dated Stock Certificate

Stock incorporated in 1912. Breakfast cereal is a type of breakfast food made from processed cereal grains. Traditionally enjoyed as part of breakfast or as a snack, it is especially popular in Western societies. While warm cereals like oatmeal and grits have been around for centuries, ready-to-eat cold cereals emerged in the late 19th century. These cereals are typically served with dairy products, such as cow's milk, but can also be paired with yogurt, plant-based milks, or eaten plain. Fruit and nuts are sometimes added for extra flavor and nutrition. Many cereals are made using extrusion.

Some manufacturers highlight the health benefits of oat-based and high-fiber cereals. In the United States, cereals are often fortified with vitamins, although they may still lack some essential nutrients for a balanced breakfast. A significant number of cereals have high sugar content, commonly referred to as "sugar cereals" or "sugary cereals." These are frequently marketed to children and often feature cartoon mascots and may include a toy or prize.
