Flakes for a breakfast - is it good or not? (Part 1)
Today there are many temptations, and it is not a problem to have breakfast with some benefit for health, but what to prefer: muesli, flakes, or something else?
As a matter of fact, they are very similar by way of food value – the difference is only in their basis - rye, oats or wheat, and additions such as dried fruits or nuts give not only more pleasant taste, but also caloric content. Mueslis from all above-listed are the most useful for a breakfast, and all because they are a mix of flakes from different cereals.
Fried mueslis are less useful, than natural whereas frying destroys part of useful vitamins and microelements. Dried fruits are not very useful, unless give more pleasant taste and add not the most useful calories – light carbohydrates in dried fruits. And nuts and sunflower seeds, which also considerably raise caloric content of a product, on the contrary are a good source of proteins and vital polyunsaturated fat acids. So preference should be given to not fried mueslis with nuts without dried fruits.
