Question About Oats - Instant vs. Traditional
Hi All,
I have read many a time that traditional oats are much better than instant, eg. Uncle Tobey's Instant 1 minute oats - because instant ones are processed further adn lose nutritional value and have higher GI (that's what I've read). When reading the instructions on how to make oats, I found something odd:
To make traditionally - normal oats requires 10-15 minutes boiling, instant oats about 1 minute boiling.
But, to make in a microwave, both say to cover with water, nuke for 1.5 minutes on high, mix, and another 0.5-1 minute on high - how come both take the same time in the microwave??
Also, doesn't overcooking the oats higher the GI??
Thanks!

Eat'em raw, thats what I do.
I can see traditional being slower digesting for the fact the actuall oats are a lot larger than the instant, but they are all 100% oats.
