question icon

Yes. All Cheerios® cereal varieties are made with whole grain and have at least 8 grams per serving (at least 48 grams are recommended daily).

What exactly is the story on whole grain? Whole grain has fiber, vitamins, minerals and hundreds of other phytonutrients. The health benefits of whole grain come from the three components of grain (germ, endosperm and bran). Each of these nutrients has its own benefits, but can work together powerfully in their natural proportions. People who choose more whole grain tend to weigh less than those who don’t, and a diet high in whole grain has also been found to play a role in managing diabetes and certain types of cancer. Whole grain is not only good for the body. It’s also part of the classic flavor that makes people happy, and happiness is important too.
