Nestlé Malaysia has launched a new addition to its hot cereal range: Nestum 5 Grains. This latest offering blends the familiar taste and aroma of Nestum with a wholesome mix of grains, available in two variants—Quinoa & Black Rice and Oats & Red Rice. Both options are rich in protein and iron and provide a good source of dietary fibre.
The Quinoa & Black Rice variant (10 x 32g) includes whole wheat, quinoa, black rice, white rice, and corn. Meanwhile, the Oats & Red Rice version features whole wheat, oats, red rice, white rice, and corn.
The Nestum 5 Grains range shares some similarities with Quaker’s 5 Red and 5 Black Multigrain offerings. However, Nestum’s messaging is more tailored to Malaysian consumers, emphasizing how the product helps them “rise, shine, and seize the day.” In contrast, Quaker’s multigrain variants tend to resonate more strongly with Chinese consumers who are familiar with the traditional health benefits associated with red and black grains.
Nestum 5 Grains Quinoa & Black Rice comes in blue packaging, setting it apart from the darker tones used by Quaker’s 5 Black Multigrain. This design choice reflects the product’s composition—unlike Quaker’s version, which is made entirely from black-coloured nourishing ingredients such as black sesame, black rice, black millet, rye and black beans, Nestum’s blend includes a mix of both light and dark grains.
