The Grape Nuts shortage

gellen · ‎03-14-2010

If you are a fan of Grape Nuts cereal you have noticed a shortage lately. They are even gone from Amazon except in huge quantities. No real explanation as I have researched this intensely. Just hoping my favorite cereal will return soon. I am in Pa and my best friend who likes them too is in Florida and she doesn’t have them either. Maybe a cereal killer is on the loose😆

I haven't seen a shortage here, in fact I got a couple of boxes on sale fairly recently. Of course, I just opened a new box which means I need to go ahead and buy a new one. Watch them not have them now.

I buy generic Grape Nuts....the Kroger brand. Much cheaper, tastes the same. Just got two boxes a couple weeks ago.

I like to cover them with almond milk and microwave for a minute....then add some honey or a packet of Truvia. Yum! Hope they don't go missing on the shelves here.

I have a suggestion or a substitute!!! I haven't been able to find them either! I was looking for them and came across Kellogg All Bran Buds. They looked similar on the box so I figured I would give them a try! They are great--- in fact, I like them even better! You might not like them as much, but if you can't find Grape Nuts, maybe they will be a suitable alternative until you do!

I recall being aware of a homemade Grape Nuts recipe. It may have been from the Depression or WW2 era. I prefer cooked cereal in the Winter months . So Many cereals are not satisfying in that I am hungry later, but Grape Nuts is one that takes longer to eat and does have a "stick to it ness" I can name on one hand the cereals my Mother bought. Of course when not available one craves it more so hope you see it available soon.
