Wheat flake

Wheat flakes are a type of cereal ingredient made from the whole wheat grain. They are commonly found in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and baked goods. Wheat flakes come from the wheat plant, specifically from the wheat kernel.

To make wheat flakes, the wheat kernels are first steamed and then rolled into thin flakes. This process helps retain most of the nutrients from the whole grain, making wheat flakes a source of fibre and other essential nutrients. The flakes are then dried and ready to be used in various food products.

Wheat flakes are often added to foods for their crunchy texture and nutty flavour. They can also provide a source of fibre, making them a nutritious addition to breakfast cereals and bars. You may find wheat flakes listed in the ingredients of products like muesli, granola, and whole grain bread, where they contribute to the overall taste and texture of the food.
