Krusteaz Zoom Hot Cereal
I cooked my Zoom on the stove, although despite the directions, I added the cereal to the water before it boiled. It only took a couple of minutes to cook, and it thickened like oatmeal, releasing starch that made a creamy texture. I mixed in some maple syrup, raisins, and walnuts and indulged in a spoonful. It did remind me of hot Grape-Nuts cereal! It's less chewy than Steel-cut oatmeal, but much more toothy than any other form of oatmeal I've had. There is a mild, wheaty taste which makes this taste very bland when it's by itself without the benefit of added sugar and fruits. One serving of Krusteaz Zoom Hot Cereal (1/3 cup uncooked, which makes about 2/3 cup cooked) contains 140 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, no sodium, 20% of the RDA for fiber (5 grams) and 5 grams protein. At $1.50 for an 18 ounce box, it was much cheaper than numerous other hot cereals, plus it's100% whole wheat, and has very impressive nutritive stats. For a change of pace from oatmeal, I'll definitely be buying this again. Comments
