CHOOSE WHEAT FLAKES OVER CORNFLAKES

• Rich in minerals and vitamins: Bran flakes are a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals. The mineral content includes calcium, zinc, magnesium, copper, manganese, phosphorus and iron while the vitamins include vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, D and E. Bran flakes do not contain vitamin C.
