Quaker Instant Oatmeal

Quaker Instant Oatmeal (Instant Quaker Oatmeal until 1995) is a type of oatmeal made by the Quaker Oats Company.

Quaker Instant Oatmeal comes in small (single-serving) packets and is usually flavoured. Flavourings include cinnamon and apple, honey, and other "sweet" styles. The oatmeal is prepared by mixing with boiling water and stirring, hence being referred to as "instant"; once mixed, the oatmeal is ready within a minute.

Although quick and easy to make it also has many drawbacks. Quaker Instant Oatmeal tastes different from oatmeal prepared the traditional way. This is due to how the oatmeal is processed and prepared. The mouth-feel of the oatmeal is changed as the oatmeal is finely milled to decrease cooking time, and the oatmeal is treated with chemical preservatives and flavourants [ [http://www.quakeroatmeal.com/qo_ourProducts/instantQuakerOatmeal/familyFavorites/index.cfm Official Web Site] ] .
