Bran Flakes Breakfast Cereal - 16 Oz (Pack of 4)

Slow delivery initially, but eventually came as promised.

Update Dec. 2013.... The price has doubled on these 4 boxes of cereal. I won't be buying again. I have been eating this Bran cereal for many years. Before that, my husband & I loved Post's Fruit & Bran which was basically the same flake with added things like raisins, almonds, dried fruit. Gradually, it disappeared from all the grocery store shelves in the area so I ordered it from Amazon for awhile until it became too expensive. Now I think it's gone completely. Luckily, I started buying this one and just added my own almonds, raisins, fruit, etc. Once again, my favorite cereal has disappeared from out local grocery store shelves. Back to Amazon. So, for now, and hopefully the foreseeable future, I'll be buying it here. I can't find any other bran-type flake that tastes this good.

Perfect

I have eaten this for breakfast for about 60 years until I could not find it at any of my local groceries. I was very happy to find it on here, but it smells stale when the package is first opened. The taste is not as bad as the scent but still does have a slight stale taste to it. All in all, I will continue to buy it from here and eat it as I still like it better than the alternative.

The price is outrageous and there's no excuse for it!!!

Excellent quality, good taste and good price.

This product is execellent. I have eaten many other bran cereals by different companies during the time Post Bran cereal had became unavailable in my local groceries. I have found Post to be the most effective. Post Bran Cereal is a 100% natural and high in fiber and potassium and taste great. I am so please to know that this cereal is still available for purchase. I just hope it will continue to be available, because there is no cereal that can replace Post Bran Cereal

Having waited to review this product until I had consumed the four boxes in the pack, here is the scoop: 29g carbs, higher than many cereals but lower than some brands considered "healthy". Salt: 190g. The flavor is very subtle to begin with so the adding of this much salt per serving did not change the fact. Protein 4g. Again, better than many not as good as others. Insoluble fiber 6g (good for regularity), <1g soluble fiber (higher better). Possibly because this was shipped as a pack, there was an upper layer of flakes on top of crushed flakes. So, mostly flakes beaten into smaller pieces. Regrettably for those of us looking to reduce carb (and salt) intake, cereal grains are a tough category. There are many cereals on-line with a much better nutritional profiles but expensive to very expensive for a daily user.
