WHAT DOES CEREAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cereal

Cereal

A cereal is a grass, a member of the monocot family Poaceae, cultivated for the edible components of its grain, composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop; they are therefore staple crops. In their natural form, they are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats, oils, and protein. However, when refined by the removal of the bran and germ, the remaining endosperm is mostly carbohydrate and lacks the majority of the other nutrients. In some developing nations, grain in the form of rice, wheat, millet, or maize constitutes a majority of daily sustenance. In developed nations, cereal consumption is moderate and varied but still substantial. The word cereal derives from Ceres, the name of the Roman goddess of harvest and agriculture.

Definition of cereal in the English dictionary

The first definition of cereal in the dictionary is any grass that produces an edible grain, such as oat, rye, wheat, rice, maize, sorghum, and millet. Other definition of cereal is the grain produced by such a plant. Cereal is also any food made from this grain, esp breakfast food.
