✦ Oat beta-glucan fibre ✦ Nuts and seeds: healthy fats ✦ Iron-fortified often ✦ Read label for sugar content

Crunchy or crispy muesli-type cereals combine rolled oats with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and often added sugars or oils to create a toasted, granola-like texture. They provide beta-glucan fibre from oats, useful fat from nuts and seeds, and iron from fortification, but can be calorie-dense and high in sugar — so reading the label is important.

Preparation note

Weigh a portion (typically 40-45g) — crunchy muesli is calorie-dense and easy to over-serve. Pair with lower-fat milk, plant milk, or yoghurt to moderate energy intake.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food. NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label. They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.

Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead. How we source and normalise our data →
