Processing & Texture:

Pre-Steamed and Thinly Rolled: These oats are steamed and pressed thinner than “Old Fashioned” rolled oats. This pre-cooking process significantly reduces their cooking time.
-
Fast Cooking: As the name implies, they cook in just 1 to 2 minutes on the stovetop or can be prepared by simply steeping in boiling water.
-
Soft & Creamy Texture: When cooked, they break down easily, creating a smooth, uniform, and creamy porridge with a very soft mouthfeel and minimal chew.

Taste & Ingredients:
-
100% Whole Grain Oats: The ingredient list is pure and simple: whole grain oats. There are no added sugars, salts, or flavors.

Neutral & Mild: They have a mild, slightly nutty, and comforting grain flavor, making them a perfect base for both sweet and savory toppings.
