American food shopping?

[nicklord1]

Hi i will be in barbados in a few weeks for about a month and they sell carribbean , english and north american products. I was jsut wondering whilst i was there i would try some american products.

What is the best cereal which a good source of soluble and insoluble fibre and what nut /fruit bars for snacking are the best for you ?

Cheers for your help

Not sure. They seem to change every week!

Plain shredded wheat is good, Cheerios is good too, or Grape Nuts. You can also usually find these in bar form as well along with Special K bars.
Those are just a few.... check it out when you get there I think you will find plenty of variety to chose from.

What makes you think anything America specifically offers cereal-wise is in any way good or better for you than anywhere else?

Maybe it's just the novelty of trying something he can't get back home?
I donno.... didn't we have a thread about grocery shopping while on vacation?? LOL.

I'll second Cheerios, Shredded Wheat, and Grape Nuts as American products. I have at least one of those in my pantry at all times.
I like a simple oats and honey granola bar. But don't have those on a regular basis, would rather make a good oatmeal cookie myself.

i will check out the stores website later and give you some products you can give me ur opinions on.

I love prune juice due to its anti oxidant , whats the best one in the states.

Cheers

Well, I can't comment on "the best" prune juice, since I've never done a taste comparison, but by far the most popular brand is "SunSweet".
