Oatmeal is a whole grain cereal. Approximately one-third of each whole grain oat is the bran portion. Cholesterol is only found in foods sourced from mammals, birds or fish, and since oats are a grain product they do not contain cholesterol. An easy way to remember which foods contain cholesterol is to ask yourself whether the product came from something that used to walk, fly or swim. If so, it contains cholesterol.
All liquid is absorbed by the oatmeal or oat bran while cooking.
Few Canadians have tried grits and not enough Canadians seem to like them. Quaker Oats Canada does not necessarily market all the products sold by our parent company and, of course, vice versa. We do, however, continually review products that are available in the U.S. to assess further sales potential in Canada. For competitive reasons, however, information relating to future products cannot be released until such a product is available to the public. Most flavours of Quaker Rice and Corn Cakes and Quaker Crispy Minis Rice Chips are gluten free.
