Amazon Saver, Old Fashioned Oats, 2.6 Lb (Previously Happy Belly, Packaging May Vary)

My first shipment got loose in the box and was damaged, but Amazon was quick to replace it. Im happy with the sugar content as im not too picky about that. It goes well with my diet and i like the health factor of oats. The size is big but not a problem for me as I use oats for a lot of things. It's easy to use and the box is sturdy so I don't worry about the durability of it.

We like this oatmeal because it is fresh, tasty, easy to prepare, cooks quickly (about 2 minutes when microwaved), and can be used to make cookies or to add texture to meat loaves. Since it is plain, we like to add artificial sweeteners (instead of using sugar), fresh fruit (e.g., blueberries and bananas), and/or a dairy product (e.g., milk, cream, etc.). Quite filling. Excellent for those who have little time to cook.

I started eating oatmill for breakfast for healthy reasons and tried a variaty of them, steel cut and other oatmills. I found I like this one the best for taste and value. The only complaint is that when you boil it in a pot, it take only two minutes before the oatmill begins to stick to the bottom of the pot. Needs to be stirred when cooking. Not a big deal. Perhaps 2 cups of water to 1 cup oats is a little too thick. Boy, blue berries, cinnimon, some sugar, milk make a filling and healthy low cal breakfast. Gonna buy some more.

Pure oats, cause our bodies to remove cholesterol during digestion. They absorb and lock away fats, just like they do in a meatloaf. As the Oats pass through, they attract fats even from our circulation when the cells are picking up nutrients. Oats are the best grain to accomplish this effectively enough to change your next health check-up blood work. 30 days and you will find many ways to add this versatile clean food. From cookies to main dishes to more than just breakfast. They can even help in the bath tub. They correct the ph of water and soaps, plus your skin can detoxify. Allergy sufferers can usually use Oats instead of Wheat products. Oats are the simple stand in for baby formula, given as a water based rather than milk based. These are a dry goods product, meaning shelf stable, fresh every time. Since they can be stored on our shelf, there is no need to adjust cooking times in recipes, for adding cold ingredients. This brand comes in a generous size, with a seal lid. The lid is not tight enough to depend on staying put, if the can is grabbed. I add a light weight foil layer. Making sure what is in stays there and what is outside stays out; moisture or free loading critters.

Great quality at a great price!

Oatmeal is a good all around snack and breakfast cereal. Mix in fruit, cocoa, maple syrup, raisins, spices. This two pack was a great deal. The local market sells this size canister for 4.98 for one. Amazon sells a two pack for a much better price. I prep mine in a bowl and pour hot water over it, and let it soak.

I like oatmeal for all its health benefits. So I regularly make instant Quaker Oats oatmeal in the packets. I am comparing Amazon Basics Old Fashioned Oatmeal to instant oatmeal. Amazon's oatmeal is definitely a quality oatmeal. You can tell just by the texture of the oats as the oat flakes are larger and have an Al Dente texture. It just chews differently to instant oatmeal. This oatmeal doesn't have nearly any of the preservatives found in instant oatmeal. It's basically a few ingredients.I also found that 1 serving of Amazon's oatmeal is double the amount of a 1 packet of instant oatmeal. My problem is that I am so used to instant that I find that it takes more work cooking this oatmeal vs the instant brand. That said, it you are an oatmeal lover, there's nothing wrong with this product.

Red oats had a great price why spend more on a brand name for the same stuff?
