## Why should Nestlé Cereals be used as an ingredient?
Nestlé Cereals have been on a journey for the past 18 years to make sure that all our ingredients make breakfast better. That means, we have worked on increasing [whole grain](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/whole-grain-cereal) and [fibre](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/what-is-fibre), whilst making sure to reduce [sugar and salt content](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/our-promises/better-food/more-choice-less-worry).
All Nestlé cereals which carry a [Green banner](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/our-promises/better-food/look-for-green-banner) have whole grain as the number one ingredient. Many of our breakfast cereals are also [fortified with 5 vitamins and 2 minerals](https://www.nestle-cereals.com/uk/nutrition/fortified-cereal), including riboflavin, niacin, B6, and folic acid.
Creating new and tasty flavours with your favourite breakfast cereal by using different toppings and fruit, or using them in tasty breakfast recipes is a great way to add an extra layer of flavour to any breakfast.
Breakfast is always a fun way to get your Father’s Day off to a joyful start, which is why we wanted to give you the ultimate breakfast ideas for Father’s Day to make the day that extra bit special!
