Jumbo Oats

What is it?
Larger oats than the usual that make for a better textured porridge












Why do we like it?

I suspect porridge is a little bit like eggs - everyone has their own particular way of making them and what might be adored by one person is disgusting to another. That's the way I feel about porridge, and usually refuse the kind offered in cafs because it's made with the usual melty oats that make a gloopy mess. Jumbo oats on the other hand stay on the whole side.

I make them this way:
Two to one water to jumbo oats in a small milk pan
Cook for about 5 minutes or until all the water is gone
Add berries (frozen ones work well)
Transfer to a bowl and add soya milk and honey, ground flax seeds
Good morning!

Where can you get them?
Waitrose do a good bunch:
