Raisin bran is a breakfast cereal, which is also known as sultana bran. Today, the name is a generic used for different cereals manufactured by different companies, but it was once a trademarked name. The trademark was rejected for being simply a description of the contents - raisins and bran - rather than being something creative. Descriptions cannot be trademarked.
The first Raisin Bran was created by U.S. Mills in 1926. The cereal is, just as its name sounds and why the trademark was rejected, raisins and bran, the latter being whole grain wheat flakes that are high in fibre. The dish is, however, high in sugar due to raisins having a substantial amount of fructose. Raisins are a type of dried grape, although of what type does vary. in some countries, a raisin is a dried, dark coloured large grape, whilst sultanas are golden-coloured. This results in the different names for the cereal.
