"This is an excellent value."
"I cook them with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a handful of raisins for a hearty breakfast that stays with you until lunch, at least."
"I have yet to get a bad product from this company, other than I tried Steel Cut Oats, and that product is not to my taste."
"Good, useable protein, easily digested, and delicious when eaten alone with milk of choice, honey, butter, brown sugar, any or all of the accompaniments."
"It's a staple in our house that we eat daily and are always looking for good pricing on. We're temporarily staying with family right now and my mom often accidentally gets the quick one minute oats... My husband prefers this old fashioned, or steel cut style, because of the larger oats. My husband says this style is chewier than the minute style oats, which just kind of disappear in milk."
"I make my own granola so this is the most economical way for me to buy my rolled Oats."
"Always a fan of oatmeal, but Bob's Red Mill is the top of the line--get it boiling, cover it, shut off the heat, go meditate and then be prepared to a great bowl of oatmeal."
The packets are also portable, so you can take one with you and prepare a wholesome bowl of oatmeal anywhere there's hot water. Quaker Instant Oatmeal is made from 100% whole grain Quaker Oats.

Best Grits
The grain is slowly ground in a traditional stone mill so that it retains all of the natural oils found in the germ (heart of the corn). When Palmetto Farms stone ground grits are cooked they are smooth, creamy, delicious, and full of that rich natural flavor. Real Stone Ground Grits - Smooth, Delicious, Full of Flavor, Creamy.

Find Best Price at Amazon"We have purchased stone ground grits from several different mills over the years but these are the only ones that have been ground ready to cook. Now to prepare the grits. ½ Cup Grits. ½ Cup Milk. 1 3/4 Cups Water. ¾ Teaspoon salt. ¼ Teaspoon freshly ground pepper. Bring Milk, Water, Salt, and Pepper to a boil in medium saucepan. If not tender enough after 20 minutes continue cooking another 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes."
"First time making "real" grits...I can't count instant 😐."
"But the patient and faithful cook will be rewarded with a smooth, rich flavor of corn and beguiling texture that sits well with anything you care to serve with it--from shrimp to breakfast trimmings. It can be a backdrop in similar fashion to rice and used very nearly identically (in my experience), and corn's versatile enough that it can go either sweet or savory depending on how you fix it and what you serve it with. Make it a porridge with maple syrup or brown sugar and eat it like oatmeal, or top it with fried onions and peppers and some slices of good sausage."
"However,I have found if you cook them about 10 minutes or so less than the directions say on the bag, you can taste the flavor of the corn better."
"He was raised in the south though so I guess the taste buds depend on whether you have had grits before."
"I was very happy with these grits."
"Real Grits. After trying these grits on a lark, they were truly great grits."
"If you salt/butter your grits while cooking like I do, note that you do not need nearly as much salt as you do with the grocery store brands, so taste-test before putting in as much as usual."

"This, in my opinion, is the best darned granola in the world."
"This is yummy as a cereal, but a bit too crumbly as a dry snack."
"So I gave it 4 stars because someone else might find it appealing...So if you love chocolate like me, do what I did, order one bag try it out."
"Love this granola and it was fresh when it arrived."
"This stuff is so good, you can snack on it, add it to your yogurt, I eat it with almond milk, can't get enough of the stuff."
"It was very dry and hard... the granola in the store is chewy and much more fresh tasting. Maybe it's hasn't been stored properly or this is another batch that isn't sold to stores?"
"I mix this with other cold cereals,, put it in oatmeal, and it really tastes great with vanilla ice cream, not to mention plain yogurt as well."
