I used to enjoy Grape Nuts. Some years ago I thought it didn't taste to
great. I learned from a friend who is a Grape Nuts fanatic that they
changed the recipe for the Canadian product. He used to make trips over
the border every few months to buy cases of it because the American
formula had not changed. I tried that and he was right. The American
Grape Nuts were better, just like the old stuff here.
