How cornflakes are produced

Farmer Jimmy Doherty recreates how breakfast cereal factories go about making cornflakes from maize (corn) using tools he has in his barn. He demonstrates how the nutritious germ and bran are removed from the corn kernel, how the starch grit is cooked, dried, flattened and toasted, and finally how nutrients and flavourings are added back into the finished cornflake.
