About Oat and honey cereal

Oat and honey cereal is a popular breakfast option combining rolled or whole-grain oats with natural honey for sweetness. Originating from traditional Western diets that emphasize simple, wholesome ingredients, this cereal is often consumed with milk or yogurt. Nutritionally, oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, especially beta-glucan, which supports heart health and digestion. Honey adds natural sugars along with trace antioxidants. A standard 40-gram serving typically provides around 150 calories, 3 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 27 grams of carbohydrates, including natural sugars and fiber. It is often fortified with essential vitamins such as iron, B-vitamins, or folic acid to further enhance its nutritional profile.

Health Benefits

• Rich in beta-glucan fiber, which helps lower LDL cholesterol and supports heart health.
• Provides a steady release of energy due to the complex carbohydrates in oats, helping regulate blood sugar levels.
• Contains essential minerals such as magnesium and iron, which support bone health and oxygen transport.
• Honey contains trace antioxidants that can combat oxidative stress in the body.
• Fortified varieties often provide added B-vitamins, promoting energy metabolism and nervous system health.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (in oats), honey

Suitable for: Vegetarian diet, low-cholesterol diet

Not suitable for: Vegan diet (due to honey), gluten-free diet (if oats are not certified gluten-free), low-sugar diet

Selection and Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness. Avoid exposure to moisture, which can cause the cereal to lose its crisp texture.
