Escape into your breakfast paradise with woven wheat biscuits baked with rich organic vanilla and the perfect touch of natural sweetness. Within the rugged layers you'll even spot finely ground organic vanilla beans that gently drift loose in your bowl. Grown in the hot, humid climates of the Tropics and Mesoamerica, the vanilla pods are the only edible fruit of the orchid flower. For hundreds of years, farmers have carefully pollinated the delicate white flower by hand to produce the cherished vanilla bean. Vanilla orchids only bloom for one day, so farmers must constantly survey their fields to make sure each flower is pollinated. After nine months, the large green vanilla beans slowly turn dark yellow, signaling the growers to harvest. Fresh vanilla beans are tasteless and odorless until they are heat-cured, which causes them to turn black in color and reveal their distinct flavor and aroma. Island Vanilla cereal marries the smooth taste of real vanilla with pure wheat biscuits for a calming flavor oasis. So relax, unwind and pour a bowl.
