Food Integrity Score

Enjoy in Moderation

Nutrition and ingredient quality are both respectable, but this is better as a balanced choice than an everyday default.

Quick answer

Enjoy in Moderation

Kashi organic cinnamon cereal is rated enjoy in moderation overall, with a Longevity Score of 74 out of 100 and a Food Integrity Score of 84 out of 100. Organic whole-grain and legume-based cereal with fiber and protein, but added cane sugar and sunflower oil lower its alignment. Strengths include whole grain corn and whole oat flour as base ingredients, lentil flour and pea protein add plant protein and fiber, and oat fiber contributes to fiber content, while main considerations include cane sugar and molasses add sweetness, expeller pressed sunflower oil is a seed oil, and sodium is moderate for a cereal serving.
