What does CEREAL mean in Scrabble?
noun
A grass, such as wheat, rice, maize, or oats, grown for its edible grain, or a food made from that grain.
Cereal crops have fed human populations since the earliest days of agriculture, and the word covers both the growing plant and the harvested grain that becomes flour, rice, or animal feed. In everyday speech cereal most often means a packaged breakfast food made from roasted or flaked grain, eaten cold with milk, though the older sense simply names the grass itself. The word traces back to Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture and harvests. Nutritionists and farmers still use the broader agricultural sense when discussing global food supply and crop yields.
