Overview

Steel cut oats processed to cook fast, plus flax seeds, go into single pouches with a measuring line printed for the water. Pour, heat for a couple of minutes and the bowl is ready.

Pouches make a hot whole grain breakfast fast enough for weekday mornings. Texture is softer than traditional steel cut oats, and the listing gives no nutrition panel.

Who it's for

Office workers, students and families rushing out the door will use the pouches daily. People who enjoy chewy, slow simmered oats should buy plain steel cut.
