As someobne who has worked in bakeries and automated bread plants , (third generation) I recognize a lot of the equipment and the process involved. What is basically being made is bread,using a time dough, the dough is partially allowed to rise before being knocked back and divided into loaf sized pieces. It's then baked without any further proofing and crumbed . Basically what people were buying was bread crumbs. Very clever marketing.
Same as every other cereal. Unless it's corn, then your eating baked tortilla chips. Grape nuts have lots of delicious malted barley though which isn't in bread. I love them, the best is heating them up with milk in the microwave and adding plenty of sugar.
In the early 90's I work in the Post cereal factory where they manufactured Grape-Nuts flakes. The second line produced Cocoa pebbles. I would occasionally have to dump the sacks of cocoa into a hopper. You talk about a mess!
I was surprised to see a few wooden machines on the line. I wonder if they still have any. The "flour dresser" is quite lovely. After the violence of most of the process - stir! shake! bake! smash! - the machine putting the lids on the cans seems almost dainty.
I used to eat the shit out of grape-nuts when I was a kid and loved it, as long as you didn't pour too much or you would be eating all day. Turns out, it is just bread, damn.
I think that if you think they are flavorless, you should consult an ENT specialist. They have a unique and distinct flavor not duplicated by anything else I have encountered.
Even machines worked at a more humane pace back then... now lines like this fly like crazy.... MORE MORE MORE... MONEY MONEY MONEY.... I am so disappointed in man.
I’m 73 years old and this is always been my favorite 😊

Very highly processed bread crumbs. You're not wrong, but you ignore the fact the vast majority of households would be unable to make this at home.
Things were very quiet in 1940
Home movies in this era were silent.
PeriscopeFilm haha, I know. But I thought it was amusing :)
Indeed...
All this time I thought grape nuts was a byproduct produced by some gravel company.
LOL. MALE GRAPES
Thank you for the great video and thank you for leaving it silent too!

And all this time I thought they came from male grapes.
Sheot I laughed out loud. Great job. Here is your thumbs up
@@Grottolova this is a very wholesome comment, are you from the older generations by any chance?

Interesting the amount of human contact there was in manufacturing, now 1 person to press a button
No grapes were harmed in the making of this film.
No 'nuts' were harmed either

I repaved my driveway with *Grape Nuts.*
My mom loved that cereal and ate it everyday.
Who needs Disney World?
We always wondered where they came from.
Same equipment used for mining ore, and rock crushing operations.
Wish there was sound =(
A lot of dangerous looking machinery.
>> All that for a bunch of flavorless teeth cracking bread pebble rocks. ...as posted, VERY cleaver marketing.

MADE me feel sick watching

Please stop putting your "billboards" on the end of videos. At least put ten seconds of blank video at the end so it doesn't cover up content.
