About ORIGINAL SWEETENED CORN & OAT CEREAL, ORIGINAL
Cap'n Crunch is corn flour and sugar, basically. Oat flour is the third ingredient, followed by brown sugar and coconut or palm oil. Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 provide the distinctive golden color. Fiber is negligible and protein is low. This cereal has been a fixture on American shelves for decades because it delivers a very specific sweetness and crunch - nobody is eating it for nutrition. If the question is whether it fits in a balanced diet, the answer is yes, in small amounts, with the understanding that it is closer to a sweet than a grain food.
