Instant Oatmeal

Instant Oatmeal

EverydayDry

Instant oatmeal is a precooked, dried oat product designed for rapid preparation by simply adding hot water or milk. While made from rolled oat groats like traditional oatmeal, the extended processing reduces cooking time to minutes but also decreases natural fiber content compared to steel-cut or old-fashioned varieties. Many commercial versions contain added sugars, flavorings, or preservatives, making it essential to check labels for nutritional specifics when tracking macronutrients.
