i know it was first made in china by putting nuts and fruits in a bowl with milk or water

The first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was produced by Henry Drushel Perky in Denver Colorado in 1893. Perky was a lawyer, businessman, promoter and inventor. His cereal, Shredded Wheat, was first sold locally in Denver and Colorado Springs.

Quote from a Wikipedia article about Henry Drushel Perky: 'Although John Harvey Kellogg and Charles William Post are better known, Perky was a pioneer of the "cookless breakfast food" and it was he who first mass produced and nationally distributed ready-to-eat cereal.'

The first flaked cereal was Granose Flakes prepared by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in 1894, Superintendent of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, and announced in the February 1895 issue of Food Health.

Corn flakes were first introduced in 1898 by Dr. Kellogg's brother William Keith Kellogg and manufactured by the Sanitas Food Co. of Battle Creek. (from The New Shell Book of Firsts).

There's a lot more to the Granose Flakes/Corn Flakes story and how/why they were created.

Corn Flakes, they very first cereal, were made on 31 May 1894 by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in Michigan, United States.

Then the 2nd cereal created was Rice Crispies made in the early 1900's also fom Kellog's brand cereal.

The first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was produced by Henry Drushel Perky in Denver Colorado in 1893. Perky was a lawyer, businessman, promoter and inventor. His cereal, Shredded Wheat, was first sold locally in Denver and Colorado Springs.

The first even cereal was Weetabix. It was first made in 1944 and was originally famous a the favourite cereal of Basshunter.

Next week, Cheryl Cole is launching 3 new flavours:

  • bacon
  • egg
  • chalk

CORRECTION: Weetabix was actually invented in Australia in the 1920s by Bennison Osborne. However, the first ready-to-eat breakfast cereal was produced by Henry Drushel Perky in Denver Colorado in 1893. Perky was a lawyer, businessman, promoter and inventor. His cereal, Shredded Wheat, was first sold locally in Denver and Colorado Springs.

There's a lot more to the Granose Flakes/Corn Flakes story and how/why they were created. ALL 3 of these cereals came about nearly 30 years before the creation of Weetabix.
