Cereal processing involves transforming raw grains, such as wheat, corn, and rice, into food products. This process includes cleaning, milling, and cooking the grains to enhance their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. The goal is to make cereals more palatable and easier to digest. After processing, cereals can be used in various forms, such as flour, breakfast cereals, and snacks. Different techniques, like toasting or puffing, can also be applied to create unique textures and flavors. Proper processing ensures that cereals retain essential nutrients while providing a longer shelf life.
