Whois & Analysis for cheerios.com

The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other cereals and pseudocereals).

While oats are suitable for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats, one of the most common uses is as livestock feed.

A whole grain is a cereal grain that contains the germ, endosperm, and bran, in contrast to refined grains, which retain only the endosperm.

Cheerios is an American brand of cereal manufactured by General Mills, consisting of pulverized oats in the shape of a solid torus.

A cereal is any grass cultivated for the edible components of its grain (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis), composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran.

Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop and are therefore staple crops.

Edible grains from other plant families, such as buckwheat (Polygonaceae), quinoa (Amaranthaceae) and chia (Lamiaceae), are referred to as pseudocereals.

A nutrient is a component in foods that an organism uses to survive and grow.

Macronutrients provide the bulk energy an organism's metabolic system needs to function while micronutrients provide the necessary cofactors for metabolism to be carried out.

Both types of nutrients can be acquired from the environment.

Micronutrients are used to build and repair tissues and to regulate body processes while macronutrients are converted to, and used for, energy.

Methods of nutrient intake are different for plants and animals.

Plants take in nutrients directly from the soil through their roots and from the atmosphere through their leaves.

Animals and protists have specialized digestive systems that work to break down macronutrients for energy and utilize micronutrients for both metabolism and anabolism (constructive synthesis) in the body.
