Product Description

Frosted Mini-Wheats are made from whole grain wheat, which is shredded and formed into small, bite-sized biscuits. The biscuits are then coated on one side with a layer of frosted sugar. The cereal is known for its high fiber content, which is a result of the use of whole grain wheat in its production.
