Publix Crunchy Bran & Raisin Cereal is a whole grain-based breakfast option that combines the fiber-rich crunch of bran with raisins for a nutty and fruity flavor.
The nutrition facts reveal 190 calories per serving, making it a low-calorie option, though the high carbohydrate content and added sugars suggest it may not be ideal for those monitoring sugar intake. The presence of whole grains provides dietary fiber, which supports digestion, while added vitamins and minerals contribute to overall nutritional balance.
Analyzing the product's processing level, the inclusion of corn syrup, glycerin, and molasses, along with artificial flavor enhancers, indicates that the cereal is minimally processed but leans towards being more processed due to its sugar content. While it offers whole grains, the added sugars make it less than optimally healthy.
Given the high added sugar content, a healthier alternative would be an unsweetened bran cereal or another option with minimal added sugars, such as plain oats or flaxseed-based cereals, which can provide similar nutritional benefits without excessive sweetness.
