Staples

Description

Corn flakes are a popular breakfast cereal made from milled corn that is cooked, flattened into thin flakes, and then toasted to achieve a crispy texture. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor and satisfying crunch make them a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory recipes. Originally enjoyed with milk as a traditional breakfast, corn flakes are also commonly used as a crunchy topping for casseroles, a coating for fried foods, or an easy mix-in for desserts like cookies and snack bars. Their light texture allows them to absorb flavors, making them an excellent addition to a variety of dishes where a golden, crunchy finish is desired. Corn flakes are widely available and convenient, making them a pantry staple in many households.
