About Breakfast cereal, cornflakes, unfortified
Unfortified cornflakes are ready-to-eat flakes made from processed corn without vitamins or minerals added for fortification. They are commonly served with milk or a milk alternative, and may also be eaten dry or used as a crisp ingredient in cooking. The description does not establish whether a product contains other additions such as salt or sweetener.
The flakes are thin, dry, and crisp, with a mild corn flavour that can be lightly toasted. They soften when soaked in liquid. Flake size, colour, texture, and seasoning vary by recipe; this category is distinct from frosted or coated cornflakes and from fortified versions.
