I grabbed a small thing of Quaker Oats once. Stupidly didn't look at the
label. Turned out to be "Quick 1-minute oats." It's just ground whole
oats but too mushy for me.

I did save it though...might be good for oat cookies someday or
something else.

Ingredient are : Whole grain rolled oats
Nothing else added.
