Corn flakes with no sugar!


Recommended Posts

Impossible to find in groceries. 

Years ago there was an imported German brand but they cost more than the sweet ones!

Anyway there is a source now on Lazada.

A whopping entire kilo for 164 baht (plus shipping).

The plastic bag is so big you'll need need to buy plastic containers to store all the product once opened.

Yes they're corn flakes. Yes there is no sugar. You can make sweeter with fresh fruit, or whatever.

At Lazada search

Well clearly the sugary stuff is popular because almost every cereal sold in groceries is like that. To me that stuff is for kids with parents that don't know anything about nutrition.

Most breakfast cereals are loaded with sugar and refined grains.

Yeah, cornflakes are pretty much considered a junk food nowadays. Was always a shredded wheat or weetabix man myself. Don't know if they're much better.

Sounds like unsweetened corn flakes are OK but not great. The brand I mentioned has no flavor additives as well.

 

As noted in my breakfast recipe I use 1/2 cup whole multi grains no sugar muesli for the bulk of the bowl which is definitely healthier than processed cereal. 

 

I like to add some corn flakes for the flavor of corn and the texture.

What about the regular kellogs or nestle cornflakes sold everywhere? Even in 7-11. It doesn't taste sweet to me.

Interesting. Tastes like candy to me.

Corn flakes with built in sugar. 😃

But Cornflakes soon become too soggy for my liking. 

Kellogg's do.  Nestle, not so much (as fast), and depending on bowl size, two smaller servings instead of 1 large serving helps, if a slow eater :giggle:

 

Simple solution to simple problem.

I prefer Nestle cornflakes that don't go soggy like Kellogg's.

Sugar is the 2nd most ingredient in Nestle Corn Flakes, even though it's difficult to tell. But I eat them with a banana and milk almost every day. I have to stop. 

 

My mother, a former farm girl, always said corn was used to fatten up the pigs. I am, unfortunately, living proof.

Did some search and both regular Kellogs as well as Nestle contain about 8 to 10 grams of sugar per 100 gram.

If you chew them dry you will notice that it must be sweetened.

Much less though than the choco stuff etc.

I eat Kellogs and will continue. 100 grams is much more than a serving.

The few grams are far from what I consume with chocolate etc. (I am an addict).

 

To me it looks like Kellogs is made from drum rolled corn while Nestle is some extruder product from corn porridge. Just to uniform and lot of fine bubbles included ("foamy"). Tried it and don't like it.
