Cornflakes
Description of productCornflakes, the popular breakfast cereal, are composed mainly of cored maize which has been milled to maize grits or flakes. The grits are then cooked together with brown sugar, salt and malt syrup to a porridge-like mass, the yellow-brown colour of which is brought about by caramelisation. The mass then is pressed into small, flat flakes and roasted. Often, cornflakes are enriched with vitamins and minerals.
