Why National Raisin Bran Cereal Day?
The production of Raisin Bran Cereal has been there since 1926 by various brands. However, the first brand to endorse this as their product was the Skinner Manufacturing Company.
Although bran cereals existed during the time, the Skinner Manufacturing Co. was the first to include Raisins with them, gaining themselves a trademark and a competitive edge in the debut for Raisin Bran Cereal.
However, as the cereal was called Raisin Bran Cereal and consisted mainly of Raisins and Bran, many other companies in the 1940s appealed to the U.S. court to allow them to use the name to sell the Raisin Bran Cereal and thus the trademark was no longer associated with Skinner Manufacturing Company alone.
Since then we can see plenty of Brands endorsing the Raisin Bran such as General Mills’ Raisin Bran, Kellog’s Raisin Bran, Ralcorp’s Post Raisin Bran, Total Raisin Bran, and U.S Mills Raisin Bran!
Bran is the hard outer covering of the wheat kernel and is packed with numerous nutrients and fiber. Bran is a byproduct of milling during which it is stripped off the wheat kernel. It has a nutty sweet flavor and thus liked by many Americans!
Bran enhances digestive health and is one of the good sources of fiber that can prevent and treat constipation. It further acts as a prebiotic and promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut.
Raisins became popular in the year of 1873 when a large portion of grape harvest was dried up by the heatwave during September in California. And a grocer in San Francisco started selling the dried grapes as “Peruvian delicacies”. Even today, California is the highest producer of Raisins in the world. The Raisins are healthy due to their high fiber content and are naturally loaded with sugar making them sweet! Thus they are beneficial for your health when consumed in moderation and they are also a great source of iron aiding in digestion and stronger bones!
Thus no doubt, the popular and healthy Raisin Bran Cereal has a dedication to celebrating its goodness!
