The Story of Nutri-Grain
The Nutri-Grain breakfast cereal first appeared in Australia in 1976. It had a special "block and hole" shape. Later, in 1981, a version with flakes and no added sugar was introduced.
When it first started, there were four types of cereal: rye, corn, barley, and wheat. Over time, this was simplified to just corn and wheat, and eventually only the corn cereal remained.
Nutri-Grain also started making breakfast bars. These bars became very popular in the 1990s. People liked them because they were easy to eat when you were busy or "on-the-go." In 2013, Nutri-Grain even added breakfast drinks to their products in Australia.
