Where on earth does the name for Post Grape-Nuts cereal come from?
From our friends at Kraft foods:
"Made of wheat and malted barley, Grape-Nuts was so named because its inventor, Charles William Post, said that grape sugar was formed during the baking process and described the cereal as having a nutty flavor."
(Grape sugar is also known as dextrose or dextroglucose.)
Grapefruit, on the other hand, the Library of Congress tells us, is actually named after the grape because they grow in clusters like grapes.
Grape Ape is named for his purple color... but you probably knew that.

Every now and again, I hear something and wonder, "Why is that so?" Well, I looked it up online. In this blog, I share the fruits of my research with the world. Lucky you!
