Honourable oats
I had been happily buying jumbo rolled oats for quite some time when I happened to read an article suggesting that pinhead oats have a lower glycemic index (G.I.). This means that despite being nutritionally similar to their jumbo oat cousins, these oats will raise your blood sugar by less after eating them. Of course the only difference is that pinhead oatmeal is whole oats cut into two or three pieces. Jumbo oats are further processed by steaming and rolling to flatten them. Instant oats are also steamed and rolled and are smaller than jumbo oats. Therefore I thought that if these pinhead oats are slightly better for you, then I may as well give them a try.Compared to more processed oats, these ones are more coarse and take longer to cook properly. The different texture causes them to be more chewy and they have a much more nutty taste that other oats (in my experience). As with other oats, pre-soaking them can help reduce cooking time and allow the oats to absorb more liquid. Everyone has a different preference when it comes to porridge / oatmeal, so it is worth experimenting with different methods of cooking and pre-soaking to find a method that best suits you.These Mintons Good Food pinhead oats in my opinion are better than the other pinhead oats I bought at the same time,
Health Store Pinhead Oatmeal 1 Kg (Pack of 6)
. Nutritionally, they have (per 100g) less calories and carbohydrates and more protein (although slightly more fat) than the Health Store ones. That other brand also had a few jumbo oats in the bag. So it would seem that not all pinhead oats are equal. In fact, it may be the case that not all pinhead oats of the same brand are even equal as the nutritional information on my bag differs quite significantly from that in the listing photographs at the time of writing. Per 100g, the bag I received had:Energy 364 kcal / 1525kJFat 9.4gCarbohydrate 47.3gProtein 13.4gSalt 0gThe only ingredient is pinhead oatmeal, it is produce of the UK and the best before date was over ten months away on the date of delivery. For those with allergies, on the bag is stated "this product is packed where nuts & sesame seeds are handled".The taste and texture of my porridge has changed since replacing my jumbo oats, but certainly not for the worse. Overall I am very happy with this pinhead oatmeal and will be buying the Mintons Good Food brand again.

Lovely product and great value
I bought this as an alternative to a more expensive brand. I really can barely notice the difference and its only in terms of each has a slightly different flavour/ texture and now I have forgotten what the last one tasted like. I make this in a batch with water every few days and then just microwave the cooked porridge with a little milk and some sultanas. Incredibly cheap breakfast which keeps me going until mid afternoon.

Ideal for the health conscious eater!
I cannot praise this product highly enough. Mixed with seeds, black strap molasses and vitamin C powder and chopped banana - the ideal breakfast. The taste is NOT creamy because it is with added water and yet the texture is just as good as Jumbo oats - and fewer calories. Yes you soak it the night before but so what? Cheaper too than porridge oats.Excellent all round!

It's not for me, but you may like it
It is creamy, but tasteless, it doesn't give me that full feeling and it takes an age to cook, especially if you don't like crunchy bits!I find, I much prefer, the whole jumbo roles oats, they are tasty, creamy and ready in minutes and I always feel full after eating them.

We eat porridge every morning.
Our local stores no longer stock pinhead oats so I was pleased to find these. Pinhead oats are just lovely for the best porridge. I soak them overnight so in the morning they cook quickly and are creamy. Very pleased.

Good quality good value
Pin head oats are no longer easy to find now that Holland & Barrett are no longer selling them. These are anyway sold at a much lower price. They can be used to make porridge (in about 15 min) or used to lightly coat mackerel or herring fillets. All great Scottish food. Good value and healthy.
