I know that many people think this cereal has the consistency of aquarium rock (but not as delicate a taste) and is hardly worth the effort to eat, but it’s still on the shelves after many years, so I’d like to hear some comments about it.
Incidentally, I apologize for ther misspelling of thread.
Grape-nuts are notable for being the only form of digestible mineral, mined straight from the deepest depths of the bowels of the Earth. 
“From the Earth’s bowels to your breakfast bowl.” used to be their slogan, in fact.
It’s delicious sprinkled on yogurt.
Not bad on ice cream either as a nut substitute (I’m allergic).
It’s also also good cooked with milk and served hot.
I like to mix it with shredded wheat. Soak in milk 8 to 10 minutes.
Good stuff.
I am eating a bowl now. No milk (which is repulsive) and a bit of brown sugar. It is my number one seed in the cereal aisle.

Makes a great porridge.
See, that’s the thing. A lot of us utterly despise eating anything ‘mushy’ if it starts out crispy. We find it *really *repulsive. Breakfast cereal is the classic example, and after the milk is added different cereals have different ‘mushiness rates’ if you will. The appeal (for me) of Grape Nuts, besides liking the wheat-germy taste, is that it remains very crunchy for a very long time in milk. Though eating it dry would be a bit much for me!
I don’t mind Grape-Nuts; if you add some sliced-up strawberries or banana, they’re downright tolerable. And I agree with Hail Ants – the crunchiness is most of the appeal.
Good camping food.
You cram a baggie-full of Grape Nuts down at the bottom of your packback, underneath 20 pounds of gear squashing it. Result: no crumbs!
Try doing that with regular corn flakes or whatever.
Also, if you don’t eat it all during this summer’s vacation,—no problem!.. You can leave it in your backpack till your next hiking trip which may be ,say, in 3 years.
Or 30.
Or 300.
Yep, this right here. It does get a tiny bit mushy at the bottom of the bowl, but it’s an agreeable type of mushy. Come to think of it, the entire bowl is quite a lovely experience, starting with molar-cracking crunchiness at the start, and ending with goddoIhaveenoughmilktofinishthislastmouthfulYESIDO! slightly soft at the end. Yup.
Grape Nuts contains no nuts?
Yep. I like the crunch. Grape-Nuts has been my favorite cereal since I was a kid.
I couldn’t have said this better, especially the “goddoIhaveenoughmilktofinishthislastmouthfulYESIDO!” part. 
Grape Nuts starts out as a wheat and barley loaf that is crumbled into nuggets. No nuts, no seeds.
From Wikipedia:
“The cereal originally prepared by C. W. Post when he was developing the product was a batter that came out of the oven as a rigid sheet. He then broke the sheet into pieces and ran them through a coffee grinder to produce the ‘nut’ sized kernels.”
Old joke; Why does Euell Gibbons have purple stains on his shorts?
Because he has Grape Nuts.
It’s great in meatloaf; it doesn’t mush up like bread crumbs do. I usually heat it up with milk and add crushed or sliced almonds. Yummy!
My wife sprinkles Grape Nuts on her ice cream and in her yogurt. I use it as an additive to other cereals; I mix it with either Corn Flakes (which wilt faster than you can blink) or Cheerios, contributing to a nice crunchy mouth-feel for me, especially after adding milk. Love it.
I used to eat it a lot as a Jr. Intergalactic Gladiator but I haven’t had it in years. I used to put carob chips in it. Dee-licious.
This post has been GrapeNutted!
As a kid, I would pile sugar on it, and have the equivalent of tiny rocks, sugar, & milk. Hated those things, won’t touch them now.
I used to tell people that Euell Gibbons died of food poisoning (he didn’t. Marfan syndrome) because of eating those things.
If someone likes them, tho, fine by me. Different tastes…

And no grapes. 
I love it- super crunchy and not sweet.
