instant oats

Foogoof · 05-05-2008, 02:40 AM

I know instant oats like quaker or whatever arent as good for you as normal oats but I was just wondering if the nutritional values stay the same if I eat these oats uncooked (unmicrowaved). cause what I'm planning on doing is adding them to my eggs in the morning and just wanted to know if I will still get the nutrition from the oats if I do so. Thanks

i couldve sworen i heard instant oats are not as good. maybe i was trippin out or something.

yeh you are right there are the oats that take a couple of hours to cook (machined oats i think)
but i doubt oats that are put in the microwave for a minute and thirty seconds are much worse then 2 hour oats.
i just buy organic oats and microwave them.

your instant oats have sugar and other things added

Its more of a processed food

so u can do it, but prolly won't get the full nutritional value like if u used steel cut.

It's up to you dude. One also may be pricier than the other so let's see what happens

mate the oats i buy are organic rolled oats. nothing else and i microwave them no problem.
as for the instant oats from the supermarket as KABOOM said it's got added crap

aight ill just use the instant ones for now since my parents buy them. easier on the wallet that way. and shouldnt make too much difference

i buy regular rolled outs, there ment to be cooked on the hob but i micorwave em, anything istant does have a shitter nutrtional value than the longer version. Same goes with uncle bens rice
