Corn Flakes

Corn flakes are a popular cereal made from corn flour or grits, pressed and baked into thin, crispy flakes. They are most commonly eaten as a breakfast cereal with milk or yoghurt, but also work well in desserts, as a crunchy coating, or mixed into granola. They can be sweetened, salted, or flavoured in a variety of ways. Originally developed by the Kellogg brothers in the late 19th century, they have since become one of the most widespread breakfast foods in the world. They are a source of carbohydrates and, in fortified varieties, B vitamins as well.
