Before proceeding, it is important to understand that breakfast is consumed with a purpose to keep us full & to provide energy for the first part of the day so that we can carry out all physical and mental tasks without feeling hungry.

For any breakfast to be qualified as a good breakfast, it must be rich in complex carbs & dietary fiber, good in protein, and a moderate amount of fats.

Nutritional Value of Cornflakes & Oats

Nutrients Cornflakes (100g)Oats (100g)

Now, let’s look at Kellogg’s cornflakes first, which is made with 88% corn grits, sugar, cereal extract, salt, synthetic vitamins & minerals & antioxidants.

Cornflakes is marketed for being enriched with iron and combining it with milk. Clearly, there is nothing nutritive about cornflakes standalone that’s why it uses synthetically added vitamins & minerals & a bowl of milk for its marketing.

Also, fiber is negligible (3g per 100g) and protein content is just 7g per 100g both nutrients which are responsible for satiety. Though the serving size mentioned is 30g but chances of consuming way more than that is quite likely leading to increased consumption and less level of satiety.

On the other hand, Oats (we’re talking about 100% Natural Oats) being a complex carbohydrate is rich in fiber (10g per 100g) and protein (12g per 100g) leading to increased levels of satiety, fullness and you get to enjoy a lot of other proven benefits that come with it.

Even from a price point, Oats is way cheaper than Kellogg’s cornflakes.

So, if you’re consuming, cornflakes for breakfast, it’s time you make the switch and enjoy the benefits of consuming a filling & nutrient-rich food.

Now, this obviously doesn’t mean you just can’t consume cornflakes, you may, if you wish to, but when there are other better options available, you definitely should think about it.

plain oats vs masala oats

Plain Oats Vs Masala Oats – Which One Should You Buy?

by with 6 Comments NutritionProduct ReviewsUncategorized

For the past several years, our social media walls have been flooded with posts regarding the health benefits of oats.

And it surely does have presence of certain nutrients that are linked to various health benefits such as managing blood sugar, reducing bad & total cholesterol levels, preventing constipation, increasing the growth of healthy gut bacteria, and promoting satiety etc. (1,2 & 3).

But a variety of oat products are available in market. Broadly speaking, either plain or masala oats.

Plain is 100% Oats & masala, obviously as the name suggests, is the flavored version.

From a cost perspective, 100% Oats is always cheaper. In addition you can make it as per your preference – sweet or salted.

You have to spend sometime in preparing plain oats however, masala oat packets are almost instant – just add water, boil & you’re done.

One thing to watch out for in masala oats is their sodium content, like the one shown below has 2.3g sodium per 100g.

1 pouch is 38 grams, so with each serving of masala oats, you’re consuming about 867 mg of sodium and finishing 43% of your daily recommended sodium with just one product (5).

And, India consumes more than double the amount of sodium than what is recommended by the WHO (6).

The nutritional information shared above is just for one product.

In conclusion, purchase plain oats if you want to save on cost and make your own style of oats and go for masala oats if you are looking for a quick oats option however, make sure you look for the one with least sodium to avoid excessive salt related problems.
