Cream of Wheat Original Flavour Hot Cereal 800g/1.8 lbs {Imported from Canada}

Wheat flour is a common ingredient in many cereals, providing carbohydrates and some protein. It is typically refined, which removes the bran and germ, reducing fiber and nutrient content. While it serves as a staple energy source, it lacks the nutritional density of whole grains.

Defatted wheat germ is a byproduct of wheat processing, offering some vitamins and minerals. The defatting process removes oils, which can extend shelf life but also reduces nutritional value. It adds some micronutrients to the cereal but is less beneficial than whole wheat germ.

Disodium phosphate is an additive used to control acidity and improve texture in processed foods. It is a synthetic compound that can contribute to the phosphorus load in the diet. Excessive intake of phosphates can lead to imbalances in calcium and phosphorus levels in the body.

Ferric orthophosphate is used as an iron fortification in foods, helping to prevent iron deficiency anemia. It is a stable form of iron that is less bioavailable than other forms, such as ferrous sulfate. While it contributes to iron intake, its absorption is lower compared to other iron sources.
