CHOOSE
The choice of oats depends on your end goal:
- Choose rolled oats for 15-minute healthy oatmeal or add raw to various recipes
- Quick-cooking oats cook much faster than rolled oats, but they have less texture and flavor.
- Instant oats can sate your hunger quickly, but they are often packed with sugar and artificial flavorings, plus, they absorb too much water, so opt for rolled or quick-cooking oats.
STORE
