Don't buy.
Cooked this porridge as per instructions, but twice boiled over, & didn't even cook, probably because its as cheap as chips. Will be going back to a trusted brand that cooks properly. Not a good buy & doesn't save money, if won't cook & boils over!
Terrific value
Good quality. Inexpensive and a store cupboard essential for making flapjacks, crumble mixture and a healthy breakfast cereal.
If you love porrige avoid this
Total rubbish. Unlike other porriges even Tesco's own Scottish oats this one never goes porridgy. I remains tough and chewy no matter how long it's cooked for. At first thought it was me. I have tried Tesco's own, Quaker and Scots They all do what you'd expect when cooked with cold water or 1/2 and 1/2. Even with water only the other brands go creamy but not Growers Harvest. Yet I always thought like probably others that oats are oats. My last advise is avoid. BTW I cant see any of these reviews.
Wouldn't buy it again.
I cook it according to the instructions and I find it chewy, like eating bird seed. Also it rises in the microwave even in a deep pyrex bowl, comes over the sides and makes a mess of the microwave.
Splurge don't save!
Terrible.... do not soften even with 15 minutes of cooking. Measurements on packaging are wrong or written incorrectly 50g to 300ml water/milk...... absolutely not.
MAKES WATERY PORRIDGE NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO
My second bag made very watery porridge...like it's all husks and nothing else. I made it with 70/30 milk and water so I could boil it in a pan, still watery. Never again, I've been eating porridge for years and this has to be the worst.
Can't beat these oats for value
Excellent value. Really tasty. Use them for porridge, overnight oats and to bake goodies with.

A versatile staple...
These oats are a tasty and economical mid-way point between the larger traditional oats and the cheap quick cook oats. I use them for baked oats, oat pancakes (grinding them first), in muffins etc. They have a good chew to them but obviously are not as firm as traditional oats so would be great for children and if you bake them into oat bars "to go" with choc chips in you wont get many refusals, even from teenagers!
What have you done TESCO I really enjoyed the budg
What have you done TESCO I really enjoyed the budget porridge up until you changed the supplier. The original porridge had a great texture but the new supplier has milled the oats too finely completely spoiling the texture. I am now looking for a new supplier of the coarser type of oats.
