New York (CNN Business)If you're having a hard time finding Grape-Nuts at your local supermarket, you are not alone.

The pandemic has come for Grape-Nuts. Supply chain constraints and higher demand for cereal have led to shortages of the product, Kristin DeRock, Grape-Nuts Brand Manager, said in an emailed statement. Grape-Nuts should be "fully back" on shelves in the spring, she said.

From 2015 to 2019, the US ready-to-eat cereal market dipped between one and two percent each year, according to data from Euromonitor International. From 2019 to 2020, the market grew by nearly 20% to about $10.6 billion. The Grape-Nuts shortage comes as demand for consumer goods has put a strain on supply chains, leading to shortages.

How do you harvest Grape Nuts? With a big magnifying glass and a small pair of tweezers.

Folks, if you haven't stocked up on food, now's the time to do so.

Food prices are going to hit the roof because energy prices are about to skyrocket. It's going to cut down on summer travel and everything else. And it's going to cause A/C prices to skyrocket in places like TX and FL.

For food storage, always go by the PACE method:

P - Primary: Stuff in your immediate fridge

A - Alternate: Your frozen TV dinners and other frozen foods

C - Contingency: Your freeze-dried or canned shelf food

E - Emergency: Your 25-year shelf life MREs, survival kits, food containers, supplies to get food, etc.

This is being put out there to cause a run on their product. Don’t give in to it.

The California fires in Napa and Sonoma counties severely damaged the grapenut crops; it is not clear whether they will be able to come back in 2021.

Surely you jest.

These two words are mutually exclusive to one another:

“serious & CNN”

Funny thing about Grape-Nuts. It contains neither grapes nor nuts.
