Four-grain flakes*

What is better than three grains? ..four grains of course. This mix contains oat, barley, rye and wheat for even more variation. This is the perfect base for a strong breakfast! Grain flakes are very rich in nutritional fibre and protein. They also contain thiamine (vitamin B1). The latter is especially important for good functioning of the muscles and the nerve system. Grains also contain all kinds of minerals, among which are manganese, magnesium and phosphorus. 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.
