Wheat is a highly versatile grain that is eaten all over the world. We use it for bread, pasta, cookies, and a lot more. These wheat flakes are especially suited to be used in muesli, but you can cook these also to a porridge just like oats and other grains. Wheat contains many nutritional fibre and protein. It also a good source of minerals, among which mangaan, phosphorus, magnesium and sink, and it contains the B-vitamins thiamine and niacin. In order to make the flakes, the moisture content of the grain is raised by means of steam. The grains are then flattened by flattening machines, where they come out as flat flakes. It is almost impossible to flatten grains without steam, because the extra moisture makes sure that the grains are flattened instead of crumbled.
