What I like about it? This cereal contains a really high content of fibre, in particularly Prebiotic Resistant starch and beta- glucan for heart health. A standard serve of 50g provides 13.4 g of fibre which is nearly half of adult recommended intake. For those who need to watch their cholesterol level, this breakfast cereal is definitely a good option if you use it along with soy milk, oat milk or low fat dairy milk (if you use dairy).

What I don't like about it? This cereal is really quite dense and it takes some getting used to.

Would I give them to my children? Yes definitely but in smaller portions as children's fibre requirement is different from adults.
