Bulk cereal for every day
Cereal is one of the most common breakfast foods consumed in Australia.
From wheat biscuits to CHEERIOS, there are dozens of different types of cereal that span an entire aisle at the grocery store. It can seem like the only difference is the flavour, brand and price, but there's more to it than just that.
With varying levels of sugar, whole grains and nutrients, some cereals are significantly healthier than others. It's important to look at the nutrition label when picking your breakfast to make sure you're choosing one that supports a nutritious diet.
When buying bulk cereal, look for items that are a source of whole grain, are high in fibre and moderate in added sugars.

Nutritious cereals can offer a range of health benefits! UNCLE TOBYS breakfast cereals provide a source of whole grain carbohydrates, to fuel your body and brain and kickstart your morning. Healthy oat-based cereals like muesli and porridge, provide a source of fibre. Oats contain a special type of natural soluble fibre called beta-glucan. Studies show that eating about 3g of beta-glucan a day as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat can help lower cholesterol reabsorption, helping to keep your heart healthy. Fibre rich cereals also support healthy digestion and regular bowel movements^. Plus, they make a great base so you can easily add in your favourite cut-up fruit or berries and milk or yoghurt for a balanced breakfast. Nutritious cereal often is a good source of vitamins and minerals. For example, fortified breakfast cereals are high in B vitamins, iron, folate, and potassium. The right level of these vitamins and minerals can help support a healthy immune system and aid digestion to help release energy from food^. Research has shown people who eat breakfast are more likely to meet their recommended dietary intakes for fibre, vitamins and minerals compared to those who skip it. |
You might see health advertisements for ‘whole grain cereal' and wonder what does that mean? The term ‘whole grain' isn't referring to a specific type of grain but the fact that it's the complete – or whole – grain. There are three parts to a grain: bran, germ and endosperm. Refined grains such as white rice, white pasta and white bread strip the bran and germ away to only leave the endosperm. The vast majority of nutrients in a grain come from the bran and germ, so only eating the endosperm means you're missing out on key nutrients. Eating a diet high in whole grains allows you to get all the great benefits offered from the fibre, vitamins and minerals found in the entire grain.
