Cornflakes

Everyday

Cornflakes are a popular breakfast cereal made from toasted corn flakes, originally created by the Kellogg brothers in the late 19th century as part of a health-focused regimen. Their manufacturing process involves cooking, rolling, and toasting corn kernels to achieve a crispy texture and golden appearance. Though often fortified with iron and B vitamins, traditional cornflakes are low in dietary fiber unless made from whole grain corn. Typically served with cold milk and fresh fruit, they provide a convenient breakfast option but are less nutritionally dense than whole grain or high-fiber cereals.
