Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi Sugar, I think the real question is when the manufacturer posts the carb count and size is that the raw measurement or the cooked measurement. ¼ cup of uncooked grits would be a very nice cooked amount while the ¼ cup of cooked grits would not be worth messing with.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 I don't know who makes the dry products, but if Harry knows then maybe his wife can look on the label and get the phone number or Email address and find the true answer. Unless labeled differently, I always learned the amount on the label was the number of carbs in the finished product. an _____ From: blind-diabetics [mailto:blind-diabetics ] On Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 1:27 PM To: blind-diabetics Subject: RE: serving size? Nurse Pat, First of all I am not doubting your word - but - unless I am mistaken Harry just posted that they were talking about the raw product?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thanks Dave. We do not happen to have any Old Fashioned oats so I didn't bother to try to look. (good excuse) That goes right along with " why would read the instruction manual, just guess at it. " (LOLLLOLLOLLOL) The brand of grits we happen to have on hand did not clarify that small detail.

The instructions on the container of old fashioned oat meal we have says: serving is 1/2 cup dry. It makes sense that the nutritional data is based on the measurement of the uncooked (raw) product.
