Coming soon: Cheerios with quinoa

The quinoa craze is expanding its reach: General Mills will introduce a new, quinoa-and-spelt-packed cereal, "Cheerios + Ancient Grains" in January, NPR reports.

Sales of breakfast cereals have declined in recent years, so the company hopes the "allegedly ancient ingredients" will help reinvent the brand, according to NPR. There are now 15 varieties of Cheerios, so Cheerios + Ancient Grains will be in good company.
