Extruded cereals: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Extruded cereals are breakfast foods made by forcing a mixture of grains and other ingredients through a die under high pressure and heat. This process creates a variety of shapes and textures, from puffed rice to more complex shapes often found in children's cereals. When choosing extruded cereals, it's helpful to check the nutrition information label. Look at the sugars content, as many of these products can be high in added sugars. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting free sugars. The ingredient list can also provide useful information. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so checking for whole grains listed early on can indicate a higher whole grain content. Fibre content is also important for a healthy diet, and some extruded cereals can be a source of this nutrient. Salt content is another factor to consider, with adults advised to consume no more than 6g per day. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
