Granula was the first manufactured breakfast cereal. It was invented by James Caleb Jackson in 1863.{{Cite web | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140331204134/http://dansville.lib.ny.us/historyo.html#castle | archive-date = 2014-03-31 | url-status = dead

Granula could be described as being a larger and tougher version of the somewhat similar later cereal Grape-Nuts. However, it consisted primarily of bran-rich graham flour made into nugget shapes. The cereal had to be soaked overnight before it could be eaten.{{Cite web

The cereal was manufactured from a dough of graham flour rolled into sheets and baked. The dried sheets were then broken into pieces, baked again, and broken into smaller pieces.{{Cite news
