Culturally, the parfait represents a shift towards visually appealing, 'Instagrammable' breakfasts that prioritize both aesthetics and nutrition. Nutritionally, softening the cereal in liquid can make it easier to digest and may help with the absorption of certain nutrients from the fruit and dairy.
