Instant Rice/Oatmeal

[Bevo]

Had two questions:
1) Is instant rice comparable to regular rice...i know label says nutrient value similar but wondered if it was OK for instant rice instead of regular

2)Is oatmeal just as good if eaten uncooked?

thanks...

I just don't like the taste of instant rice.
