GRAPE NUTS
Post Grape Nuts breakfast cereal was first made in 1897.
Charles W. Post spent almost a year as a patient at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in 1891, unsuccessfully. He left, and was soon cured of his health problems by a Christian Science follower (a religious system founded Mary Baker Eddy). Post opened his own health retreat, and in 1897 used Dr. Jackson's basic recipe for Granula to develop Grape Nuts breakfast cereal. Because of his marketing abilities, it soon became a success.
