Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal is an organic whole-wheat biscuit infused with cinnamon and organic evaporated cane juice crystals. Each bite-size biscuit, measuring about two centimeters apiece, offers crunch and sweetness with the delicate flavor of cinnamon. Kashi Cinnamon Harvest is a shredded wheat cereal that maintains its crunch well in a bowl of milk or stands alone as a snack. A 17.5-ounce (496g) box can purchased for about $3.50 in grocery superstores or for about $4.00 from the Kashi online store.

Upon opening a box of Kashi Cinnamon Harvest, a distinct aroma of cinnamon is present. Most of the biscuits are consistent in shape and size with minimal breakage pieces in the bottom of the box. Its texture is hearty and a bit dry, typical of shredded wheat cereals. Because the cinnamon and cane juice crystals are infused into the biscuit, the sweetness is never over-powering but nicely subtle. If you are looking for that powerful sweetness found in some frosted shredded wheat cereals, it is not present here.

A serving size is 28 biscuits (1.9 oz or 55g) and that will fill a medium-sized cereal bowl when milk is added. For the health conscious, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest is a low-calorie, low-fat, low-sugar choice. Each single serving, without adding milk, has 190 calories, one gram of fat, and nine grams of sugars. This cereal offers five grams of dietary fiber per serving but if you are watching your carbohydrate intake, beware, that same serving contains 44 grams of total carbohydrates.

Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal is branded as USDA Organic and is certified organic by Quality Assurance International. It contains only four ingredients: organic whole grain wheat, organic evaporated cane juice, organic cinnamon, and natural cinnamon flavor.

Keeping consistent with the rest of the Kashi product line, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest is packaged in a 100 percent recycled paperboard box. The familiar green with white Kashi logo clearly identifies the company along with their Organic Promise logo. The front of the box displays a deliciously tempting picture of the cereal nestled on a spoon with the layers of whole wheat prominent. Kashi packaging is low on frills but its simplicity directs the consumer's eye to the actual product, in this case the shredded wheat cereal.

Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal is a filling breakfast when eaten with milk or yogurt. It is equally satisfying on its own eaten from the box or as an on-the-go snack. As a snack, it is convenient and a no-mess option when working at the computer, watching television, or in a lunch sack.

Flavorful and filling, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal satisfies hunger with organic ingredients and no chemical fillers. This shredded wheat cereal is tasty and healthful and is recommended as anytime snack or meal.
