I read an article in the Washington Post that talked about raisin bran. The
article said that Post Raisin bran includes whole grain wheat with the bran,
but that Kellogg's Raisin Bran doesn't include whole grain wheat. Just
checked my box of Post RB; the first ingredient is whole grain wheat (the
bran is the 3rd ingredient; plain wheat flour is one of the last
ingredients). Can't vouch for the Kellogg's RB. We just finished a box
recently.
I'm not a huge raisin bran fan, but I like it a lot better with some chopped
walnuts on top. And since we had both Kellogg's and Post in the house a few
weeks ago, I did a side-by-side taste test. I definitely prefer Post. The
flakes tasted better and held up in milk better.
