It's also dense. Every time I pick up a box I'm surprised by the heft. The boxes are smaller, maybe a half of the volume of a normal box of cereal, yet, they probably weight at least twice as much.

The high density means that like granola you don't need to eat much to feel full so your normal breakfast serving size can be smaller if you eat Grape Nuts since they don't dissolve in milk like sugar-based cereals.
