| Be aware that these are QUICK oats, not rolled oats. by Just A Mommy Too (Arizona, USA) 1 Stars August 28, 2009 These are not rolled oats, but the quick kind to make a creamy bowl of "mush." They are versatile and great for cooking (like meatloaf or breads and muffins.) But if you remember a rolled, hearty oat mush from your childhood, you want a thick cut oat. My mom used to fry the leftover rolled oats and serve with butter and syrup. (Yummy on a cold morning!) Amazon carries a very good thick oat called "Mothers." See: Mother's Rolled Oats, 16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) We like these Mothers Oats because they cook up without getting gummy.
| | a fine choice for breakfast--or whenever by Matthew G. Sherwin (last seen screaming at Amazon customer service) 5 Stars March 09, 2009 Quaker Oats may not be the most exciting thing I could review, but it's so incredibly good for your health that I decided to submit this review anyway. Oatmeal has apparently been around in one form or another for goodness knows how long; and the Quaker Oats brand of oatmeal is probably the best you can buy.
The oatmeal is easy to make; you can make it on the stovetop with either milk or water (water is healthier); alternatively you can prepare it in the microwave as I do. There are instructions for stovetop cooking on the packaging. If you want to make it in the microwave, pour a serving (1/2 cup dry) into a bowl, add some water until you're satisfied with the amount of water in the bowl and just pop it into the microwave. I find that 2 ½ minutes in the microwave makes a great hot breakfast that's very healthy for me; and that's doubly important for me as I am on a very strict diet. I must lower my weight and cholesterol to avoid even more health problems that I already have. Sigh.
The oatmeal has a slight amount of fat; the total fat is 3 grams per serving. There is no cholesterol; and there's no sodium which makes this a better choice than Cheerios if you're watching your sodium intake. The dietary fiber is relatively high; there are 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving.
If you have any questions about just how much oatmeal you need in your own specific diet, ask your doctor. Sometimes eating extra oatmeal--for example, having two portions instead of one every morning--doesn't necessarily mean you're getting twice the value of this product. Again, please ask your doctor or nutritionist to be sure.
In addition, the containers usually last a little over a year--look at the packaging for the expiration date and eat the oatmeal before that time.
Overall, this oatmeal by Quaker Oats is just about the healthiest choice for your daily breakfast or any other time you wish to eat it.
Enjoy!
