Does cream of wheat have any health benefits?

Answer by  benstac (1928)

It depends on which one you buy. A few of them are packed with sugar. Try the healthy grain version which has whole grains.

Well yeah it is healthy because it contains wheat, but honestly it depends on how much carbs and sugar is in the product. You can't truly know unless you check it out and compare.

Cream of wheat does have health benefits. It is low-in-calories (149 per cup), which is great for diets. It is also a valuable source of minerals and vitamins. One serving of Cream of Wheat has 15% of the amount of calcium that you should have in day. A serving is also 30 percent of your daily allowance for riboflavin.

Well, I was just pondering this the other night while eating cream of wheat so i checked it out. It has decent protein, a little fiber, and what impressed me the most was the high iron content. I don't think it would have the same heart healthy benefits, but you can get those from other high fiber low cholesterol products.
