About Cornflake

Cornflakes are a popular breakfast cereal made from milled and toasted corn, offering a light, crunchy texture. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, they were developed by John Harvey Kellogg as part of a vegetarian diet. Cornflakes are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a lighter option for breakfast compared to heavier foods. They are often fortified with vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins, supporting overall nutrition. However, traditional varieties can contain added sugar and salt, which could be a concern for those monitoring their intake. When paired with milk and fresh fruit, they provide a balanced meal rich in carbohydrates and proteins. Cornflakes are versatile and widely enjoyed across many cuisines, often used in recipes for added crunch or as a base for breakfast bowls and desserts.
