Corn flakes, or cornflakes, are a breakfast cereal made from toasting flakes of corn (maize). The cereal, originally made with wheat, was created by Will Kellogg in 1894 for patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium where he worked with his brother John Kellogg who was the superintendent. The breakfast cereal proved popular among the patients and Kellogg subsequently started what became the Kellogg Company to produce corn flakes for the wider public. A patent for the process was granted in 1896, after a legal battle between the two brothers.

In our daily busy life, we want everything quick. When we are about to begin a day even at that time, we want to have a quick breakfast. But no matter how quick the breakfast is, we all want it to be wholesome and nutritious. Cornflakes and milk is one of the popular breakfast options. A healthy breakfast is great to start a day but what is not great is the connection of cornflakes with health. The base ingredient of cornflakes is corn. Other than corn, sugar, malt flavoring, and high fructose corn syrup are some of the ingredients of corn flakes. Most of these ingredients have a high content of glycemic index (GI). Foods high in GI increase level of sugar in bloodstream very quickly. Release of insulin into the brain naturally decreases the sugar level. You suddenly end up feeling inactive and lifeless. The brain later sends an automatic signal to body to continue eating because of false sense of starvation.
According to studies, an adult size portion of cornflakes comprises almost 350 calories. High carbohydrates and few proteins in make them unhealthy for diabetic patients and those in the pre-diabetes phase. Even though cornflakes are low in fat, sugar content in them raises fat storage.
Sugar content in cornflakes is in the form of high fructose corn syrup. This is a kind of sugar which is simple carbohydrate, belonging to a class of chemically-related sweet-flavored essences. A lot of people like to add sugar or honey to their cornflakes along with milk for better flavor. But this only raises sugar content of your meal, thus increasing chances of weight gain.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. However we didn't want to restrict our lovely cornflakes to just one occasion, so we've wrapped them in our milk chocolate for you to enjoy at any time for the day.
Going by the popularity of cornflakes and increasing doubts about their health benefits, Health Shots reached out to Delhi-based nutritionist Kavita Devgan to know whether daily consumption of cornflakes is good for health.
I love simple creamy desserts like this, which are easy to make, easy to adapt and can be prepared in advance. This is my slightly unorthodox take on a classic Scottish recipe, which traditionally contains cream, raspberries and oats, but in my version the soft cream is swirled with mango and buttery cornflakes, with a hint of black peppercorns.
Add the cream to a bowl with the caster sugar and whip to soft peaks. Now add a third of the cooled cornflakes and fold through. Add the mango mixture, leaving just a little for the tops of all six, then ripple the mango through. Add to the six dishes on top of the mango base.

Cornflakes easter nests are such a treat, cute to look at, and oh-so-yummy! Chocolate-coated cornflakes clusters, shaped into nests, filled with equally tempting mini eggs. They are the perfect amount of festive while still being totally easy!
Plus, I love that these can be made last-minute. All you have to do is melt some chocolate, stir in cornflakes, and spoon that mixture into a muffin pan. The hardest part is waiting until the chocolate has set enough, and you can happily munch away on these.
My chocolate nests recipe is made with cornflakes, chocolate, honey, butter, and cute chocolate eggs. Cornflakes clusters are so nostalgic, and leveling them up with cute mini eggs turns them into the perfect Easter treat!
The type of chocolate you used will determine how long the cornflakes easter nests take to set. Milk, plain, semi-sweet, and dark chocolate need approximately 30 minutes in the fridge or 1 to 1.5 hours at room temperature. White chocolate takes the longest and sets best in the refrigerator (about 1 hour).
Yes, you can freeze this chocolate bird nest recipe. For the best results, freeze the nests without the mini eggs. Place the cooled cornflakes nests in a freezer-safe container or a ziplock bag, and freeze for up to 3 months.
You can enjoy the edible nests from frozen or defrost them on the counter for an hour or so. Keep in mind that frozen, thawed cornflakes can lose some of the crunchiness. I find they taste better frozen.
What do you get when you combine a French butter cookie, cranberry bits and cornflakes? These nibbles are the perfect size are a perfect mix of crispy, chewy and crumbly in a single bite. A hit with both adults and kids alike!
I make French toast with sour dough bread like this, except I use cornflakes mixed with nuts and honey granola. I crush them making them smaller us it for the coating after dipping the bread in the egg-wash. Top this with fresh sliced fruit. WONDERFUL!!!!!! It has become a Christmas morning tradition!!!!!!!
Here I have used the variety of dried yellow colored cornflakes. These are deep fried to make the chivda. They are also known as Corn poha or makai poha. You get them easily in the Indian grocery shops.
These are not the ready to eat cereal cornflakes. You can make this chivda, with the ready to eat cornflakes too. In this case you just need to lightly roast the cornflakes in a bit of oil. The dry fruits can also be roasted with some oil or without oil.
The rest of the aisles pass without event until we arrive at the milk, which fatefully has a few boxes of cereal next to it. None of the cereal looks very good, but the teacher notices my interest and says that there is more available on another aisle. I grab a carton of "low fat Valor brand milk" and soon we find the cereal aisle.. section.. corner. The prices are pretty absurd, but out of the corner of my eye I notice a bag of plain cornflakes for 128 yen.
Supervisor: "So we need to go get your foreigner registration card tomorrow.Me: "Okay."Supervisor: "I'll come by sometime in the morning, when is okay?"Me: "I need to help some students with their speeches at 1:00, but the morning is fine."Supervisor: "You're eating more than cornflakes, right?"Me: "..."
You really can't predict what people are going to fixate on. When I am speaking in English, the most interesting thing I say in a given day might have some actual content, but when I am speaking in Japanese, most days I am lucky to say something as interesting as "I had cornflakes for dinner."
This is the frustration of immersive language learning: you want to discuss the differences in gender-interaction between middle schoolers in the United States and in Japan (the kids here seem more comfortable with each other), but instead you talk about cornflakes. 2ff7e9595c
