Our Review Factors

In our Nestlé Gold Crunchy Oat and Corn Flakes review, we set out to find the brand’s delivery on the claims like immuno nutrients, B vitamins, and calcium. Do these have a better nutrient profile than average corn flakes?

1. Flavor

Unlike other cereal variants, corn flakes do not really have a bold flavor of their own. They are sweet and absorb the flavor of milk. How was our experience with these oat-corn flakes?

2. Texture

The crisp, crunchy bite of corn flakes doesn’t just enhance its taste but also speaks of the freshness. 

We were looking for flakes with a bold crunch and crisp bite. Is that what we got?

Nestle Gold Crunchy Oat and Corn Flakes– Detailed Review

The flakes were packed in a foil pouch which was further enclosed in a carton. The pouch is non-resealable, therefore the oat-corn flakes must be transferred to an air-tight container once opened. 

These are a lighter shade of gold. We saw a combination of round and oval-shaped flakes that were marginally thicker than regular corn flakes. 

The ingredient list includes degermed maize (corn) grits (64.7%), extruded whole maize (corn) flour (17%), whole oat flour (10.3%), sugar, minerals, iodized salt, malt extract, glucose syrup, acidity regulator (339iii), emulsifier (471), antioxidant (307b), and vitamins. Malt extract is suggested to be a healthier alternative to refined sugar as it has a higher antioxidant content and is a rich source of soluble fiber.

The nutrition information is provided for 100 grams as well as one serve (30 grams). Those who track calories and macronutrients will find this convenient. 

A 30-gram serve offers 95 Kcal with 1.8 grams of protein, 20 grams of carbohydrates (of which only 2 grams is sugar), and 0.9 grams of fat. As for micronutrients, one serving of these flakes would provide 3.06 micrograms of vitamin D (31% of the RDA), 0.54 mg of vitamin B2 (49% of RDA), 3.6 mg of vitamin B3 (30% of RDA), 120 mg of calcium (20% of RDA), and 6.27 mg of iron (30% of RDA)

What are immuno nutrients and how do they affect my system? Immuno nutrients are micronutrients that boost the immune system. They are a combination of vitamins and minerals that promote overall health and well-being.

Before moving to the tasting aspect of the review, we’d like to mention that this is a pretty good cereal, in terms of nutrition. It delivers on the claims. Moreover, this contains 2 grams of sugar per serve and has a marginally lower carbohydrate content.

We tasted the oat-corn flakes dry and with lukewarm milk. 

Stage one- With a bold crunch and subtle sweetness, these flakes taste quite good. 

Stage two- On adding milk to this, we were delightfully surprised to notice how the crunch was retained. Moreover, the sweetness is low but these aren’t bland. Although you can add a sweetener if you wish to, the mild sweetness of the flakes eliminates the need to add extra sugar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some interesting FAQs on Nestle Gold Crunchy Oat And Corn Flakes.

Yes, warm, lukewarm, and even cold- you can pair these flakes as preferred. 

By themselves, the flakes are purely a source of carbohydrates. To make the cereal more nutrient-dense, you can pair it with milk and a serving of fruits. This adds proteins, fiber, and micronutrients. Add nuts and seeds to amp it up further.

These have a shelf life of one year.

These contain emulsifier 471 which doubles as a preservative.

Fresh and crispy, and a decent serving of immuno nutrients in a bowl- Nestlé Gold Crunchy oat and corn flakes is a better option than most sugar-loaded cereals in the market.
