In the survey, it was found that even the mixed grain containing sugar-free and freeze-dried dried fruits has about 350 kilocalories, which is equivalent to a meal during weight loss. It is worth noting that some crisp cereals may not be processed from real oats, but baked from corn and other grains, in which syrup, flavoring agents and other ingredients are added.

During the processing of fruit cereal, water in the fruit is lost, some vitamins are destroyed and sugar is concentrated, so compared with fresh fruit of the same quality, dried fruit has higher calories. Moreover, some dried kiwifruit, mango and blueberry often need to add a lot of sugar in the processing process, otherwise the dried fruit is too sour to ensure the taste.

Oatmeal that can be eaten quickly and dry is either steamed deeper, pressed deeper, seasoned or puffed, which not only leads to a large reduction of soluble fiber in oatmeal, but also increases the sugar index, and also increases the calories of oatmeal.

Extended data:

The reporter of Life Times found on an e-commerce platform that 42 of the 45 kinds of cereals with sales exceeding 10,000 yuan were mixed cereals, and the price per 500g ranged from 20 yuan to 50 yuan. Most product descriptions mention: "Add a variety of fruits and nuts for nutritious meal replacement", "Eat quickly and dry, and taste crisp", "Increase satiety and help to lose weight".

Other products have introduced the "sugar-free" label and selected some fructooligosaccharides instead. Yi Zhu, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, said that although this grain tastes better, it hides many health risks, so people should choose it carefully.
