Product Information

When it comes to their nutritional value, porridge oats and rolled oats have very similar quantities of macro and micronutrients. These are in the same serving sizes and this is all because both have the same source which is oat groats.

Shredded whole wheat cereal with low-fat milk is the best choice of conventional breakfast cereals, because it doesn’t contain any added sugar or salt, and is high in fibre. Watch out, though, for the kind with fruit fillings, which may contain added sugar, or that are ‘frosted’ as they will almost certainly will have sugar added. Instead try adding fresh fruit such as a banana or berries for sweetness. Almond milk was a popular medieval ingredient, that was used in place of animal milk for cooking and drinking. During medieval times cows milk was not heat treated to kill bacteria and germs so would often made people unwell. For a ready to eat cereal that is an even more heart-healthy start to the day, swap for a shredded whole wheat cereal or no added sugar or salt muesli (see above) as these don’t contain any added sugar or salt. A bowl of cooked oatmeal is a more rustic experience as the texture is more grainy and nutty but delicious non-the-less. Rolled oatsNo added sugar muesli contains a mixture of grains, fruit and nuts and the combination will differ between brands and varieties so the amount of oat beta glucans will be more variable than porridge, which is made only of oats. The dried fruit that is added should provide all the additional sweetness you need and will also count towards your five a day but choose a muesli with no added sugar and be aware that many fruit and nut mueslis (especially tropical fruit versions) contain sweetened dried fruit, which means they have sugar added even if it isn’t listed separately on the ingredients. Banana chips are another popular muesli ingredient that will contain added sugars and saturated fats. Oatmeal is closely associated with oat based porridge while rice, wheat, and corn can be turned into porridges too. However, these porridges are made from the ingredients that are grown in specific regions of the world so are only made in these areas. Rolled oats vs Old fashioned oats

Also during medieval times the church dictated when people could consume meat and dairy, and so almond milk was frequently made in ordinary households who could afford the almonds. Before he went onto become famous in Game of Thrones, the Hound (aka Rory McCann) was the face of Scott's Porage Oats.By the 1640s porridge was a meal popular in Scotland which consisted of oats cooked with milk or water with veggies added such as peas. Make sure you don’t add extra sugar or salt to your porridge as this will undo all your good work – instead, try adding a banana or some fruit for extra sweetness. For every 80g that you add it will be one of your 5-a-day at the same time. Many people love to add sugar to their oats. Whether it’s brown or white sugar, too much sugar consumption is bad for you. Too many sweeteners can easily spike your blood sugar level leading to possible illnesses such as diabetes. If you crave sugary goodness in your oatmeal breakfast, try adding fresh fruit or cinnamon instead. We are guessing it's the secret as to how both he (and his brother the Mountain) grew to be so big. And if all that’s not enough, it also increases the oat groats’ flavor development and its shelf life too.
