Salvado de Avena in Mercadona,can anybody save me a drive to Figueres?
Just one of several things they sell I became addicted to,really surprised Intermarche don't stock it.

Addicted to my morning cereal Sue.And the odd times I get really adventurous I bake muffins.Bought it from Bio in Ageles (thanks for the heads up) not a bad price and better quality than Mercadona

I'm fascinated. Do you put it on your cereal. I'm addicted to muesli and porridge (not at the same time) but you can't eat the oat bran on it's own with milk or yoghurt can you as it's fine.

I am an Amazon shopper. Do any of these look good value?

As a diabetic, I already eat a lot of oats.

I've gotten really lazy,so it's three tablespoons to one cup of water a shake of cinnamon and two minutes in the microwave add milk.When I get enough time

Seems OK if you get free delivery.I paid 5.70 for 1.2 kilos in Argeles if you go for 5 kilos it gets better value.

So basically you treat it the same way as porridge oats.
