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. Dave " ...In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. " [ 16:33] serving size? What is a serving size, when it comes to measuring out a product like Quaker grits, a dry product before cooking. On the package it states there are 32 grams of carbs in a quarter of a cup, I presume 2 ounces of dry grits in a measuring cup. When they are cooked in water, the two ounces of dry grits turn into 6 or 8 ounces of wet cooked product. When they say 32 carbbs are contained in a quarter of a cup Are they talking about the cooked product or the non-cooked product? DThere is a big difference in the two sources of the product, two ounces of cooked grits and two ounces of the not cooked product are quite different, if you ask me. curious people want to know, Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
