Nutrition experts state: this is the healthiest breakfast

Oats in first place

After oats, whole wheat grains are in a good place, with minimal ingredients and more fiber than processed grains. Roasted wheat and barley grains were also rated high due to their high fiber content, but they sometimes contain high levels of sodium. Cereals that combine whole grains and seeds are considered relatively good, thanks to additional protein, but are not always ideal due to high salt in commercial products.

Sweetened cornflakes are at the bottom of the ranking

Cornflakes and ready-to-eat cereals generally contain less sugar than other sweetened cereals, but are less healthy than cooked oats, due to their low fiber content and processed additives. Sweetened cornflakes based on processed corn, rice or wheat are at the bottom of the ranking, with high sugar, little fiber and sometimes preservatives and food coloring – making them closer to candy than a nutritious breakfast, especially for children.

Nutrition experts recommend reading the nutrition label carefully and looking for:

It is also recommended to combine the cornflakes or cereals with fresh fruits, nuts or natural yogurt, to increase the nutritional value and prevent sharp increases in blood sugar levels. In the end, the value of the meal does not depend on the brand but on the actual contents of the package.
