wheat flake

Wheat flakes are a type of breakfast cereal manufactured from wheat grains. The process involves breaking down the wheat into grits, cooking them with flavorings and syrup, and then pressing the mixture into flakes between cooled rollers. These flakes are subsequently toasted in ovens to dehydrate them and give them a slightly blistered texture. Enrichment with vitamins may occur after toasting. Wheat flakes are similar in production to corn flakes, another common flaked cereal. Wheat itself is a globally important cereal crop, with different varieties used for bread, pasta, and pastries, as well as for industrial products like starch and gluten.123
