About Cornflakes cereal

Cornflakes cereal is a popular breakfast choice made primarily from milled corn, sugar, and malt flavoring. Originally developed in the United States in the late 19th century by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, it remains a staple in American and global cuisines. Cornflakes are typically fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins, which contribute to basic nutrition. They are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them an accessible option for those seeking a lighter breakfast. However, many brands contain added sugar, which can contribute to higher calorie intake and affect blood sugar levels. Paired with milk and fresh fruit, cornflakes can become a balanced meal that supports energy and overall health. While they offer convenience and a crispy texture, moderating portion sizes and sugar content is key for those focusing on a healthier diet.
