Wheat flakes are a relatively recent invention, developed in the mid-20th century as a way to make wheat more convenient and easier to prepare.
Certified Organic wheat flakes are made by steaming and then rolling whole wheat berries into flattened flakes with no additives and preservatives. This process makes them quick to cook and digest while retaining much of the nutritional value of the whole grain.
Wheat flakes can be used in a variety of ways, such as in breakfast cereals, granola bars, and baked goods. They are also a great addition to savoury dishes like casseroles and stews.
Wheat has played a significant role in many cultures throughout history, from ancient Egypt to modern-day bread-making in Europe. In some cultures, wheat is even considered a sacred food.
Thames Organic wheat flakes are vegan and GMO-free. They have a nutty, slightly sweet flavour and a chewy texture. They are a good source of fibre, protein, and several essential nutrients like iron and magnesium.
