abstract
  • A cereal grain that has been steel-cut and then processed into small bits or continuous narrow strands of wheat that are combined, shaped, and roasted into a small, medium, or large ready-to-eat biscuit-shaped cereal.
  • Henry Perky was one of the lucky few to find something other than paper that could be fed to the spinning metal blades to useful effect. At the time, the only known practical use for wheat was to make bread, which was not a substantial enough application to justify continuing growing the crop. As a wheat farmer facing potential unemployment and having too much time on his hands, Perky sought to find alternative uses for wheat to save the market for the product. Perky tried various methods of processing the wheat into new products, including burning it, feeding it to a civet and brewing its feces, stuffing pillows with it, snorting it, smoking it, pouring it into his tractor's gas tank, and many other failed experiments. Finally giving up, Perky proceeded to shred all of his experiment notes in his paper shredder to forget his failures, but some leftover wheat ended up getting in there as well. Seeing the long, thin strand of wheat emerge from underneath the blades finally gave him the inspiration he needed.
