Great Oatmeal - Kids Can't Get Enough
I know it's not as good as old-fashioned unsweetened oatmeal in terms of health value but this is an excellent instant oatmeal that is not as sweet as regular oatmeals and has no bad additives but my kids (who are sweet-aholics) LOVE it. I only wish we could buy it in a bulk can or bag so that we didn't have to waste so much packaging tearing several packets open every morning. It's our main breakfast food now.

I cannot say enough good things about this product.
I first heard about steel cut oats on the Oprah show about its health benefits. First of all I DO NOT like regular oatmeal like you buy in the grocery store. I don't like the slimy texture. But I figured I'd try steel cut oats and I'm glad I did. They are delicous and very good for you! The warm nutty aroma when they are cooking is very appetizing and when you add a little bit of sugar or splenda and some cinnimon it tastes fantastic! I also sometimes skip the cinnimon and add a tablespoon of granola and/or some dried berries. Excellent healthy breakfast. I highly recommend this product.
For those of you who are asking what the difference is between regular oatmeal and steel cut oatmeal:
-Steel-Cut Oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. Golden in color and resembling mini rice particles they are as nature intended - nothing added and nothing taken out.
-Rolled oats are flake oats that have been steamed rolled re-steamed and toasted. Due to all of this additional processing they have lost some of their natural taste goodness and texture.

Scots know how to blow their oats to bitsThese are a great whole grain for healthy eating and they taste great too. My wife likes them with butter and salt but I like 'em sweet with [whatever]. Usually just brown sugar but you could be use a more healthy sweetener or some berries. I find these oats more pleasing than "Irish steel-cut" styles where the whole oat is just cut in two. These oats are like blasted to bits with a bomb.. ok I think stone ground.. but I like to exaggerate that angry Scots blew them to bits. We subscribed to this product we like it so well. Recommendations: Buy Eat.
