Celebrate National Cereal Day on March 7 with a bowl of your favorite cereal! Cereal has been around for centuries, and it's the perfect way to start off the day with a balanced breakfast. The first ready-to-eat cereals were introduced in 1863 by James C. Jackson, and since then there have been countless varieties available that cater to all tastes - from sweet to savory options.
