Cereals are a very important food for us. They are the staple food in our diet. The major cereals are rice, wheat, millet, oats, maize, barley and corn. All these cereals are produced on farms. 
We eat cereals in different ways. We have them for breakfast in the form of cornflakes, bread and cakes, During lunch and dinner, we have cereals in the form of rice, wheat and whole grains. We also eat cereals in the form of popcorn.
Cereals have a great nutritional value. They have vitamins, minerals and fibres which give us energy to work. They form a healthy part of our diet. We should have them every day. Having cereals every day would keep us away from many illnesses.
