Oatmeal & Grits in Breakfast & Cereal

Oatmeal and Hot Cereal

A hot bowl of oatmeal or another hot cereal can be a wonderful way to start your day. In addition to being warm and comforting, hot cereals are often very filling and nutritious, so they can help you get going and stay on track throughout the morning.

Oatmeal comes in several varieties. Old-fashioned oats, or rolled oats, have been steamed and rolled. They can be cooked in a saucepan or the microwave with water or milk. Quick oats are rolled more thinly and/or steamed for longer so that they cook in a shorter time. Instant oats have been sufficiently precooked that they can be prepared simply by adding boiling water. You'll also find steel cut oats, or Irish oatmeal, and stone-ground oats, or Scottish oatmeal. These cereals have different textures and cooking times.

In addition to oatmeal, you'll find many hot cereals made from other grains, including grits (made from corn), wheat cereal, rice cereal and multigrain cereal. And if you have special dietary needs, Walmart has you covered, with hot cereals that are gluten free, organic, sugar free, fat free and more.

At Walmart, you'll always find a great selection of hot cereals at Every Day Low Prices. Save money. Live better.
