Cereal germ

Okay kiddo, so when you eat cereal, you know that there are little bits inside that aren't the main part of the cereal? That's called the germ.

The germ is actually really important because it's where all the good stuff is. It's like the baby plant that grows into a new plant, and that's why it has all the vitamins and nutrients that are good for us.

When cereal is made, sometimes they take the germ out so that the cereal lasts longer on the shelf. But that also means that we don't get all the good stuff. So, it's important to look for cereals that still have the germ in them so we can get all those vitamins and nutrients to help us grow big and strong!
