Cocoa Krispies Cereals
With the standard American's schedule becoming busier and more hectic, people have started looking for ways to get that extra kick or increase their productivity throughout the day.

Cocoa krispies are made with puffed rice. Cocoa krispies are an example of a puffed grain cereal, and the three puffed grains that you commonly see in the cereal aisle are rice, wheat and corn. Rice Krispies is a breakfast cereal that was created by Clayton Rindlisbacher or by Eugene McKay both of whom worked for the Kellogg company, and later marketed by Kellogg's in 1927 and released to the public in 1928. Rice Krispies are made of crisped rice (rice and sugar paste that is formed into rice shapes or "berries", cooked, dried and toasted), and expand forming very thin and hollowed out walls that are crunchy and crisp. Later they have flavored it with cocoa and chocolate and named it cocoa krispies.
There are two way to puff the rice one method is pressure cooker and second method is called Gun puffed. In the pressure cooker method rice is steam cooked in a pressure cooker until the pressure is build at certain measurements. After the rice is properly cooked, the pressure inside the pressure cooker is released all at once, just like when popcorn pops.

  • The Nutri-Grain Bar In The 1990's

    1873 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nutri-Grain cereal bars were created by the Kellogg Company and first introduced in the 1970’s Australia. They were later introduced to the United States and other countries. As more women began to work outside the home, the ritual of a family breakfast became obsolete as many individuals turned to quicker solutions for breakfast. The Nutri-Grain bar soon became popular as the on-the-go snack during the 1990’s. The cereal bar also comes in a variety of flavors that kids love, from blueberry to strawberry yogurt and has the texture a soft, homemade cookie. This television commercial centers on the theme of fostering a relationship between today’s kids and nature (see Appendix A). As the youth of today spends more time in the electronic world,

  • Pop-Tarts

    658 Words  | 2 Pages

    Post Cereals was the first company to come up with the idea for a pastry that would later inspire Kellogg's Pop-Tarts. In the early part of the 1960s, Post began developing a method of packaging dog food in foil in order to keep it fresh and avoid refrigeration. They began applying this method to food for human consumption and created a new breakfast pastry that could be prepared in a toaster and would complement their already popular cold cereals. The announcement of this new breakfast pastry, which Post had decided to call “Country Squares,” came in 1963. Because the product was released so hastily, however, one of Post's biggest competitors, Kellogg, was able to come up with their own version and release it six months later. Even though Post had released their Country Squares prior to Kellogg's version, their sales were lackluster. Many believed that this was due in part to their name. In a time of progressive pop culture, the name Country Squares could be seen as a backward way of thinking. The developers working on the proje...

    This label makes Cheerios seem like a “healthy conscience choice” when in fact they are not healthy at all. The truth is that this breakfast cereal is highly processed and is best avoided despite the “healthy halo” of being approved by the National Heart Association and GMO free. The truth appears on the nutrition label and the ingredients (Wartman). “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t buy it” The voluntary labeling places a burden on the consumer. The average American is forced to navigate a confusing and cluttered food landscape” (Wartman).

  • Chocolate Melt Faster Essay

    815 Words  | 2 Pages

    Although many of us enjoy consuming chocolate, it is not very often that we stop and consider the process that takes place before it melts in our mouths. Food science is a complex and fascinating subject, which encompasses multiple disciplines, like food chemistry, food engineering, food packaging, etc. The question I will try to answer for this project is: which type of chocolate will melt faster when exposed to a lamp? Three different types of Hershey’s chocolate will be used: Dark Chocolate, Milk Chocolate and Cookies and Cream. My initial hypothesis is that the Cookies and Cream chocolate will melt faster, based on the aspect and composition of this type of chocolate bar.

    The Theobroma cacao tree is where it all started. Olmecs, Aztecs, and Mayans were the original consumers of cocoa: they would form it into a drink and ingest it for medicinal reasons (Allen Par. 7). The Spanish then brought it back to Europe and continued to treat a variety of ailments with it (Allen Par. 7). In the last 40 years people have started to question the health benefits of chocolate, but new research is starting to prove that the Olmecs, Aztecs, Mayans and Spaniards were not too far off. Now, the pods from the tree containing cocoa beans are collected, and the cocoa beans are taken out of the pod (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The beans are then fermented, dried, roasted, then ground to make cocoa liquor (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). The cocoa liquor is then combined with sugar, vanilla, and cocoa butter to make what is now known as chocolate (Healing Foods Pyramid Par. 15). Controversy over the health benefits and detriments of chocolate is slowly subsiding, but there are many things that a lot of people still do not know about how chocolate can affect ones health. Chocolate is misunderstood.
