    FORTIFICATION

    When cereals are fortified, it means they contain added vitamins and minerals such as calcium a for healthy bones and teeth, and vitamin B6 for immune system function.

    WHY FORTIFY?

    Fortification began years ago, when extra nutrients were added to certain foods to help make up for vitamins and minerals lacking in people’s diets. These days, if we have a balanced diet, it’s easier to reach recommended nutrient intakes, and your morning bowl of fortified breakfast cereal can help your family get what they need.

    LOOKING FOR WHOLE GRAIN?

     Whole grain makes up an important part of one's balanced diet. Learn more about whole grain in Nestlé Breakfast Cereals and how it can benefit you! Read the full article LOOKING FOR WHOLE GRAIN?

    Let'sTalk

    1. Why should I look for whole grains in my breakfast cereal?

    Whole grain provides a range of vitamins, minerals, fibre, starch and other nutrients – that’s why it’s often recommended we eat three to four services a day ((Eatforhealth.gov.au 2015, 'How much should I eat from the grain (cereal) group?' para. 5). Breakfast is a good way to get some whole grain early in the day.

    2. How can I increase my whole grain intake?
    1. Look out for 'whole' on the label – wholemeal, whole wheat and whole oats are all whole grains.
    2. Swap refined white breads, pasta and white rice for whole grain varieties (brown).
    3. Start your day with a breakfast cereal that clearly states it is made with whole grains.
    4. Mix wild rice with white rice, or switch to brown rice.
    5. Use wholemeal breadcrumbs to create a crunchy topping in savoury dishes.
    6. Choose rice cakes, rye crispbread, muesli bars with oats or other whole grains or plain popcorn as a whole grain snack.
