How, when and where were cornflakes invented?

Answer by  Denise15 (49)

In 1894, in Battle Creek, Michigan, the Kellogg's brothers left some cooked wheat out and it became stale. They ran it through a roller machine and it came out as flakes instead of sheets. They then baked the flakes and realized that they had a delicious new food.

They were right. The Kellogg brothers were trying to invent grain-based foods. They accidentally let the wheat get stale during an experiment, and these little pressed flakes were formed.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't from a mistake but it was from dried corn and mashing it up. Read the box.
