Taking into account all of the nutritional and mineral/vitamin value, overall I think Tesco's bran flakes 1kg are beneficial and contain all of the healthy and nutritional values for your essential start of the day.
I know this because firstly, looking at a nutrition website and leaflet, it states that a healthy and beneficial cereal should ideally contain at least 10% fibre per serving size, or 3g to 6g of fibre per 30g serving. Very high-fibre choices have over 6g of fibre per 30g serving. You should also be on the lookout for unhealthy ingredients to avoid. Don't buy cereals that contain the words "partially hydrogenated" -- which indicate that they contain trans fats -- or that have a lot of added sugar. As a general rule, avoid cereals with over 9% fat (or over 2.7g of fat per 30g serving), over 27% sugar (or 8g per 30g serving) and over 180mg of sodium per 30g serving.
