1. Corn Flakes
In 1894, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and his brother Will Keith Kellogg were experimenting with boiled wheat to create a healthy, easily digestible bread substitute for patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan. They accidentally left a batch of boiled wheat sitting out overnight, causing it to become stale. When they passed the stale wheat through rollers, it separated into thin flakes. They toasted these flakes, resulting in a crispy, nutritious food that became known as “Granose.” Later, they applied the same process to corn, creating the first corn flakes. This innovation revolutionized breakfast and led to the founding of the Kellogg Company. (inventionandtech.com)
