Steel Cut vs. Scottish Oatmeal?

Before I go out and buy anything, I wondered if any of our more knowledgable posters might know what difference there is between steel cut oats and scottish oatmeal, other than texture? The nutrition information I've gotten from the company (Bob's Red Mill) site seems nearly identical, but the package of steel cut oats touts its "heart healthy" value, while the package of Scottish oatmeal does not. I think
I'd like the Scottish stuff better, but don't want to short-change myself, nutritionally. Any thoughts?

Here are the nutrition labels, side by side:

Thanks in advance...

HTH...

That's how far the closest one to me is too! I only go every few weeks.
The commissary we shop at is nearly 50 miles. I'm a wonderful planner <s>

Get out! I'd kill myself if I had to go that often! (I'd miss so much walking!!) I do replenish my fresh veggies from the nearest *real* grogery store 8 miles away, but I only go to the commissary about every 3 months.

For the past 2 weeks we've had fresh spinach and lettuce from the garden
- yum!

I just love the chewy texture of the steel cut oats. I get them cheaper in bulk by the pound at the health food store. See another post for the overnight cooking method - works like a champ and it's worth it!

Forgot to say, I always add some fruit - apple, pear, peach, blueberries - anything you like. It might be my favorite meal and certainly the most reliable.

I saved a copy of this in my "recipe" file -- thanks, Laurie...

Sheesh, woman, you must be! <g> Unfortunately, I tend to shop 2-3 times per week. I used to be great at planning ahead, until we moved into town and I have all-hours access to grocery stores. I also don't have the storage space that I had in our old place. Maybe we can do something about that this summer; I get sick of going to the store...

When we want to leave something out that the cats would get into, we put it in our microwave.

Hark! I heard Ignoramus8649 say:

I'm inclined to agree. I guess they just wanted to push the "Scottish" aspect of the oatmeal on their packaging, rather than the health part of it. I don't actually like oatmeal much, but I think that with some protein powder and Splenda, I could make something healthy and edible.

I've bought their bread mixes in the past, and been satisfied with the quality. I'm lucky to live close enough to the factory to have their products at my local grocery store -- we don't have an actual
"health food" store any closer than 30 miles away...

Yay!! I'm so glad you liked it <s>

Soak overnight - Before going to bed, boil 1 cup of water in a pot, turn off the heat and add one quarter cup of oatmeal. Cover the pot and leave overnight. In the morning cook over a low flame for 9-12 mins.
