About Eggos waffle

Eggo Waffles are a popular pre-cooked frozen breakfast item developed in 1953 by Frank Dorsa in the United States and later acquired by Kellogg's. They are made primarily from wheat flour, egg, and sugar, mimicking the texture and taste of homemade waffles for convenience. Each waffle typically contains around 90-100 calories per serving, 2-3 grams of fat, and 1-2 grams of protein, depending on the specific variety. While Eggo Waffles provide quick energy due to their carbohydrate content, they are generally low in fiber and contain added sugars. Some varieties are fortified with vitamins and minerals, such as iron and calcium. These frozen waffles are part of traditional American breakfast cuisine and are often served with syrup, fruit, or other toppings for added flavor and nutrients.

Health Benefits

• Fortification may include iron (up to 10% of daily recommended intake), which helps support healthy blood cell production.
• Some varieties contain calcium (up to 10% DV), which supports bone strength and growth.
