cereals
Morning bowl contents
Cereals are grains used for food—wheat, rice, corn, oats, barley—or the breakfast foods made from processed grains: a bowl of cereal with milk.
The singular cereal typically means the breakfast food, while cereals as a plural often refers to the grain crops themselves: Cereals account for most of the world's agricultural output.
