About Crunchy nut cornflakes

Crunchy Nut Cornflakes are a popular breakfast cereal known for their sweet, nutty flavor and crispy texture. Originating as part of global cereal innovations in the 20th century, these cornflakes are primarily made from roasted corn flakes coated in sugar, honey, and nuts such as peanuts. Despite being a processed food, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes provide a quick energy source as they are rich in carbohydrates, with approximately 35g of carbs per serving (30g). They also offer small amounts of protein and are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, niacin (B3), and riboflavin (B2). However, they are relatively high in added sugars, making them moderate in calorie density at around 120 calories per 30g serving, excluding milk or other additions.
