Can we consume corn flakes or any other breakfast cereals?

No, we don’t recommend corn flakes/cereals 

Firstly, cornflakes are highly processed and fragmented food items. In the Satvic food philosophy, we recommend having wholesome foods that come straight from nature, the way that Nature has given them to us, without refining or processing them. Wholesome foods get properly digested, while fragmented foods are difficult to digest. Mother Nature knows best, she gives us corn, not cornflakes.

Additionally, the corn flakes/cereals we get in the market are cooked & packaged many months in advance and are lathered with harmful chemicals & preservatives. It is a dead food- food that has no life or prana. How eating something dead can add life to our bodies?

 Moreover, products like corn flakes/cereals were never part of our diet 50 years ago. The whole concept of breakfast is borrowed from the western world. Our ancestors never had breakfast, they ate only twice a day.

 So, do not listen to these Cereal Companies. These companies sell their products by portraying that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and how it can be detrimental to our health if we skip it. This induces fear in us and that’s how we began prioritizing breakfast irrespective of whether we need it or not.

Our breakfast should be the lightest meal of the day. The best way to break your fast is with fresh vegetable juices followed by fruits.
