Lady makes cornflakes from scratch and impressed SA

A food and lifestyle content creator on TikTok blew many minds when she shared her now-viral video making cornflakes from scratch. She washed a bowl full of corn and popped them into a blender.

From there, she created polenta, which she mixed with milk, salt, and honey. She laid the thick paste on a pan and baked it for 20 minutes.

Cook from scratch to lose weight and feel happier 

BBC shared that homemade food is much healthier than what we consume from restaurants and other processed foods. Preparing food at home can be daunting, but it’s very rewarding for one's confidence and mental health:

“Research shows that home cooking can improve your mental health. An interesting study about individuals receiving mental health services found that learning how to cook was associated with improved confidence.

“A large study of almost 12,000 people found that those eating home-cooked meals more than five times a week were 28% less likely to be overweight and 24% less likely to have excess body fat, compared to the control group members who ate home-cooked meals less than three times a week.”
