Corn flakes are a popular breakfast cereal made from milled corn that is cooked, flattened, and toasted into light, crispy flakes. Originally invented in the late 19th century in the United States, corn flakes are a staple in Western cuisine and enjoyed globally as a convenient, quick meal option. Typically, they contain simple ingredients like corn, sugar, salt, and are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins and iron. Low in fat and calories, they provide a source of energy while being cholesterol-free, making them an accessible option for those seeking a lighter breakfast. However, their sugar content can vary by brand, which may contribute to increased calorie intake if consumed in excess or paired with sugary toppings. To enhance their nutritional benefits, opt for whole grain versions or pair them with milk, yogurt, and fresh fruit for added protein, fiber, and healthy nutrients.
