Finally, after a nationwide shortage forced fans to begrudgingly slurp bowls of lesser bran cereals, Grape-Nuts has reclaimed its rightful place on grocery store shelves.
The fibrous cereal is once again fully stocked nationwide, signaling the official end to the pandemic Grape-Nuts shortage, parent company Post Consumer Brands announced on Wednesday. And to repay Grape-Nuts fanatics for their brand loyalty, Post may reimburse them up to $115 if they overpaid to get their cereal fix during the shortage. Grape-Nuts will be back on shelves in March Grape-Nuts will be back on shelves in March Grape-Nuts, the cereal made of neither grapes nor nuts but wheat and barley, were nearly impossible to find in early 2021. Disappointed consumers had the pandemic to thank -- supply chain constraints and higher-than-usual demand for cereal halted production. In January, Post assured Grape-Nuts nuts the brand would return to shelves in early spring as production returned to pre-pandemic levels. But the wait was too long for some particularly fervent fans, some of whom turned to the secondary cereal market to get their Grape-Nuts fix, paying up to $110 per box, according to Post. The company is offering to reimburse anyone who paid $10 or more for a box of Grape-Nuts between November 1, 2020, and March 15. They can submit their receipt to Post to receive a partial refund of up to $115, "a way to show our appreciation and thank these fans for their dedication," Grape-Nuts brand manager Kristin DeRock said in a statement.

If one cannot get Grape Nuts, some gravel would be a good substitute.
Yup
So much fiber that your morning constitutional will leave you with rope burns.
I think the new Black Bran is great (Onyx). Never noticed the shortage.
Too many carbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Made of neither grapes nor nuts”
Well, another icon shattered by reality.
What can we believe anymore?
Reality is a cold mistress
Great stuff.
Still, the year-long disappearance of
Caffeine-Free Diet Dr. Pepper remains a mystery.
“...higher-than-usual demand for cereal halted production...”

That is an odd excuse to give.
When Snap-e-Tom disappeared, I nearly went mad..
what I do with Grape Nuts is, pour some in a bowl, pour on lots of milk, then microwave it for about 99 seconds. That heats up and softens the nuts.
The microwave time is adjusted to retain some of the texture but eliminate the gravel-like quality of the cereal.
One of the reasons for colon cancer is not enough fiber. Fiber is only found in cellulose containing foods. For many people, that rope burn might be beneficial.
Also available in; Original, Ranch, Nacho, Jalapeño and Jujube flavors! (just kidding about the jujube;)
Euell Gibbons’ pocket lint
And broken tooth flavor..
