French term or phrase: billettes de céréales
This term appears in a list of ingredients for muesli as follows:

billettes de céréales (riz, sirop de malt d'orge déshydraté, blé, avoine, sucre de canne blond, sel)

I just can't seem to find the term for this anywhere.

Many thanks.

grain clusters
Explanation:
I believe "billettes" is the diminutive for "billes" (EN balls, marbles). So, these are literally "little balls of grain." These are often called "clusters" in this context in EN.

"I got my sample of Almond Crunch Muesli in the mail and was pleasantly surprised. I had never tried Muesli before and I really like the oat/grain clusters and the flavor."

disagree  Evelyne Daniline - Pleckanoff: I wouldn't say we are talking about sticks here, billettes are round. I was referring to this kind of cereal: http://www.cherionthecake.com/client/gfx/photos/produit/3395...

  -> Evelyne, what would you call small sticks such as http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zyMpzLfttL8/Tpf0s45IDgI/AAAAAAAAAV...
