Perhaps one of the most used cereals for breakfast worldwide has an accidental origin although it seems incredible, accompany me to know such an interesting story.

Our discovery dates back to the year 1906 when Will Keith Kellogg, who prepared food to help his brother John Harvey Kellogg, with his patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Once, she forgot to control her usual preparation of corn dough and let it concentrate for a whole day. The next day, he arrived at the facility and decided to bake the preparation anyway. with his patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Once, she forgot to control her usual preparation of corn dough and let it concentrate for a whole day. The next day, he arrived at the facilities and decided to bake the preparation anyway, so much was the success that the orders were not expected and afterwards they managed to increase the numbers.

Will Keith Kellogg (1860-1951)

John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943)

The company Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company was founded on February 19, 1906 and then years later in 1922 was renamed Kellogg Company.

Currently, this company has managed to gain a foothold in the market and acquire many companies to achieve a global snack business similar to its cereal business.
