Breakfast cereal, cornflakes, unfortified

Cornflakes are a breakfast cereal made from maize. These figures describe dry, unfortified cornflakes, without milk or other additions, based on samples of organic products. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein and little fat. Per 100g, they contain 91g of carbohydrate, 7.1g of protein, 0.8g of fat and 1g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Unfortified cornflakes do not have added vitamins and minerals, so their nutrient content differs from fortified cereals. Milk and other additions change the overall nutritional content.
