Granula was an early version of [[Grape-Nuts]], consisting of heavy grains of [[bran]]-rich [[Graham flour]]. The grains had to be soaked overnight before use. The cereal was manufactured from a dough of Graham flour rolled into sheets and baked. The dried sheets were then broken into pieces, baked again, and broken into smaller pieces. ==See also== *[[Granola]] - The later breakfast cereal developed by [[John Harvey Kellogg]], renamed to avoid being sued by Jackson. Kellogg incorporated a rolling process to flake the grain, making it more edible. Subsequently revived in the 1960s as an unrelated cereal bar. *[[Hardtack]] ==References== *[http://www.mrbreakfast.com/article.asp?articleid=13 MrBreakfast.com on early cereals] [[Category:Breakfast cereals]]
