Taste testers of U.S. Consumer Reports say high-fiber cereals have come a long way since the cereals they used to describe as "more like straw than grain."
The trained taste testers compared 18 high-fiber cereals on the basis of nutrition and taste. The seven cereals they picked as nutritious, flavorful choices were:
Kirkland Signature Spiced Pecan (Costco) cereal topped Consumer Reports' list with a blend of grains, nuts and seeds and cinnamon/nutmeg flavor.
Kashi GoLean Crunchy Fiber Twigs, Soy Protein Grahams and Honey Puffs rated very good for nutritional value, have 10 grams of fiber, and stay crunchy even in milk.
Archer Farms (Target) High Fiber has a sweet, crunchy, toasted grain and big cinnamon flavor with 10 grams of fiber per serving.
Kellogg's Raisin Bran Extra! has a lot of flavor and texture from raisins and cranberries, almonds, sweet clusters and nutty wheat flakes with 7 grams of fiber per serving.
Post Shredded Wheat Spoon Size Wheat'n Bran has simple, unsweetened toasted-wheat "pillows" with a nutty grain flavor and 8 grams of fiber per serving.
Great Value Raisin Bran (Walmart) is a good choice for raisin-bran purists.
Barbara's Bakery Ultimate Organic tastes lightly sweetened scored as very good for nutrition and taste.
The cereals tested have 25 percent to 50 percent of the dietary guideline for a 2,500-calorie diet, which is 28 grams.
