 The Pros and Cons May 16, 2008

Kellogg's Special K Cereal, Red Berries, 16.7-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 4), is a delicious cereal. Since Kellogg is number one -- the number one producer of convenience food in the world --we know Kellogg will give us what we want while ignoring the things that do not matter to us.
What do we want?
(1) Flavor. Those real freeze dried strawberries are so delicious that we are tempted to eat them dry out of the box and leave the cereal. The cereal tastes good too. It is sweet, and there is malt flavoring that we love.
(2) Nutrition. With 110 calories per cup, we can measure out a cup and use it for diet food. It has vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, B vitamins, and minerals.
(3) Grain. There are crispy rice and wheat flakes.
What does not matter to us? (Or does it?)
(1) Sugar. The cereal is loaded with it, but if we did not have it in the cereal, many of us would spoon in a generous application. The second ingredient is sugar. Is that cane or corn? Also listed in the ingredients is high fructose corn syrup.
(2) Nutrition. It is hard to stop with one cup full because we are used to feeling full. A cup of light cereal takes us through the motion of eating slowly . . . that's a plus . . . but does not satisfy the way whole grain cereal does. About the added nutrition: some of us don't need all of what it gives us, or maybe we really do prefer to take them in pill form so we know we exactly what we are getting. Many of us take in more iron than is considered healthy for our specific needs. What your physician will tell you about this issue may be surprising.
(3) Grain. If we are allergic to wheat, we need to pay attention to the label. Also there is corn in the form of fructose. What we are getting is highly refined grain products when whole grain would be better for our health by providing fiber.
With the price out of the range of what we usually spend on breakfast foods, I don't find it a good value.
Great way to help parents on fixed income February 27, 2008

My mother lives in Colorado and is on a very fixed low income. If I send her money she won't use it so I have found I can help her by buying her groceries off Amazon and having them sent directly to her house and this enables me to be able to help her. THANK YOU Amazon for having products like this on your site. I hope you continue to work with companies and make this affordable to have groceries shipped this way and also to save us the hassels of going to the grocery store when we can have it delivered to our house for about the same cost as going to the grocery store.
Tasty, but not diet February 24, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Kellogg's Special K with Red Berries is quite tasty. It has large pieces of dried strawberries and the flakes are nicely sweet.
But it was this sweetness that rather stuck me. When I checked the ingredient list, the second item was SUGAR! It also contains high fructose corn syrup. 40% of the 25 grams of carbs per cup of this cereal is in the form of sugars.
It's a great tasting cereal, but don't think it's a "diet" cereal.
YUMMY LIGHT AND FRUITY January 29, 2008
THIS is my favorite cereal. No need to add sugar it is great just as it is. Just enough strawberries to add a special summer taste to a really good health-conscious light cereal, Special K. Its a winning combination and I like it so much that sometimes when I'm in a hurry and don't feel like cooking, it might be lunch too!
