Salt introduced to processed cereals and veg (9)
I believe the answer is:
calabrese
'veg' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'salt introduced to processed cereals' is the wordplay.
'salt' becomes 'ab' (both can mean a sailor).
'introduced to' indicates putting letters inside.
'processed' is an anagram indicator.
'cereals' anagrammed gives 'calrese'.
'ab' put inside 'calrese' is 'CALABRESE'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for calabrese that I've seen before include "Vegetable" , "Variety of broccoli" .)
