My sister and I grew up on Wheat Hearts. My mom would make it with small lumps in it, topped with a little sugar and milk. Yum! I figured out how to make my own by grinding whole spelt kernels.

Our whole family loved this cereal that is distinct from all others. And, the coffee cake I used to make with the uncooked cereal as a major ingredient, was so good, filling, and a welcome treat on a cold morning. For years my mom would send me boxes from California since it wasn't available in the Midwest. Bring Wheat Hearts back!

I love Wheat Hearts. When I found it was going to be discontinued, I dry packed about 20 boxes of it so we had it for many years after it was discontinued. I still miss it so much! Please bring it back!

Can't be beat. Do not understand why they removed it from the market.

Has anyone tried the whole wheat 'Cream of Wheat'? Does it taste like Wheat Hearts? Thanks.

LOVED Wheat Hearts, specifically the recipe on the box for Wheat Heart Waffles -- THE BEST! If anyone has the recipe, or any lead on Wheat Hearts or a similar cereal, I'd be grateful.

Cream of the West is a close replacement but not quite the same.
