About Wheat flakes
Wheat flakes are flattened pieces of wheat grain, commonly made by steaming or otherwise conditioning the grain before rolling. They are sold in forms that may differ in grain preparation and thickness, and can be cooked as a cereal or incorporated into baked goods and other grain mixtures.
They are typically flat, dry flakes with a firm, crisp texture before cooking; cooked flakes soften and become chewy. Their flavour is mild and cereal-like, sometimes with a toasted note. Nutrition comparisons depend on whether the flakes retain the bran and germ, and on any added ingredients or further processing.
