Instant Oats, Cooked

Instant Oats, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Instant oats, cooked, are a pre-steamed and thinly rolled oat variety that softens into a smooth, creamy texture when rehydrated with hot water or milk. While they retain the whole grain’s soluble fiber (notably beta-glucan for heart health), their processing accelerates digestion, resulting in a higher glycemic index than steel-cut or rolled oats. This quick-prep staple serves as a versatile base for breakfast bowls and baking, though plain varieties avoid the added sugars or sodium found in flavored instant products.
