I know you've heard of super fruit (even though there's no such thing), but have you ever heard of "super grains"?
I hadn't, at least not until I saw this badvertisement for Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal.
So what's in a packet of this stuff?
About the same amount of fibre as a slice of whole grain bread along with 3.5 teaspoons of sugar (and that's before you add any of your own).
Super grains?
Hardly.
More like "Sugar grains".

I never did get the "Instant" oatmeal thing. I make large flake steel cut oatmeal in my microwave in 3 minutes. Takes the kettle 3 mins to boil for the "instant" version. I can control what I add to it too.
ReplyDeleteSugar grains indeed. It always amazes me how small packets of processed foods manage to pack in that much sugar.
ReplyDeleteI especially love the miniscule amount of fruit advertised along with it, and the cups of juice along side.. more like 'start your day with a ton of sugar!'.
ReplyDeleteI was going to comment with "You spelled super wrong."
ReplyDeleteNever tried this before but got a free coupon for this so went ahead and got it. On my gosh, it's too super sweet for my liking. I'll never eat this again! What a farce.
