Putting the “Eat” in Whole Wheat The whole wheat grain is without doubt the most perfect food given to man. But you don’t want to eat raw wheat —it would be imperfectly digested if you did eat it. Whole wheat bread made of so-called “whole wheat flour” is not much better. All the nutritive elementsin the whole wheat grain are supplied in a digestible form in hredded Whea It is the whole wheat steam-cooked, shredded and baked. It supplies all the body-building elements of the whole wheat in a digestible form. It is the shredding process that put the “Eat” in Shredded Wheat. Try one or more of these crisp, delicious little loaves of baked wheat for breakfast with milk or cream. Made only by The Shredded Wheat Company, Niagara Falls, N. Y.
