Raisin Bran (Skinner's) Cereal

Raisin Bran (Skinner's)

From: Skinner's
Introduced in 1926

Lloyd Skinner is credited as the first man to add fruit to a ready-to-eat cereal. The fruit was raisins. He trademarked his creation as Skinner Raisin Bran. He got the idea from watching his wife add raisins to wheat flakes.

From the U.S. Mills website:

"Try the great taste of America's 1st Raisin Bran - introduced in 1926. Made from toasted whole grain wheat flakes complete with the bran and germ and select California raisins."

Company Description: This brand of U.S. Mills was introduced in 1926 with Skinner's Raisin Bran, the nation's very first raisin bran cereal. We have not found any other cereals under the Skinner's brand and currently believe this is the only Skinner's cereal to be produced. Please let us know if you have information pertaining to additional Skinner's cereals.

I can not find this Skinners in Southern California. I grew up on it, found it in South Carolina last month. Would love to find it here. It's the greatest. - Shirley

Rice Food Market on Westheimer at Weslayan has carried Skinner's Raisin Bran for years at just under $4.00 box... A bargain compared to Amazon price. In the last month Rice has not had Skinner's but they have assured me it is "back-ordered."

I have not been able to find this, the best Raisin Bran ever eaten. The last place I found it was in Branson, Missouri some 15y ears ago. I hvae looked every where in Houston & no luck finding the Raisin Bran.

There simply is no other raisin bran that matters. Skinners is the champ... that's my opinion and it should be yours :)

I've been eating Skinners Raisin Bran for over 50 years. It is tops. Too bad it is so hard to find. No other raisin bran compares to it. Suzanna
