About Cornflakes
Cornflakes are a popular breakfast cereal made primarily from milled corn, sugar, and malt flavoring, often fortified with essential vitamins and minerals like iron and B vitamins. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, they were created by John Harvey Kellogg as part of a vegetarian diet regimen. Cornflakes are low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a convenient option for those seeking a quick, light breakfast. They provide carbohydrates for energy and can be paired with milk or yogurt for added protein and calcium. However, some brands may contain added sugars or artificial flavors, which can reduce their overall health benefits. While cornflakes can be part of a balanced diet, it’s important to check nutrition labels and choose lower-sugar options when possible, as excessive sugar consumption can contribute to health concerns over time.
