Beakfast cereals are processed grains designed for quick and easy consumption, often eaten with milk, yogurt, or fruit. They are available in ready-to-eat and hot cereal varieties. Common examples include cornflakes, muesli, granola, bran flakes, puffed rice, oatmeal, and wheat biscuits.
Ready-to-eat cereals like cornflakes and bran flakes are typically made from processed grains, sometimes coated with sugar, honey, or chocolate for flavor. Muesli and granola contain a mix of oats, nuts, and dried fruits. Oatmeal, which includes rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and instant oats, is a popular hot cereal option. Many breakfast cereals are fortified with essential vitamins and minerals to enhance their nutritional value.
