Happy with it, but go in informed
Glycaemic index around 55 against about 79 for instant. The one thing to know before ordering: Five minutes to cook rather than one. To be fair that is written on the product page. I skimmed past it and had to rearrange things afterwards.

Does the one thing I bought it for
Glycaemic index around 55 against about 79 for instant. That was the whole reason I picked this over the cheaper options, and it is exactly as described. Also worth mentioning: 10 g fibre and 11 g protein per 100 g. Nothing has surprised me in three months.

Specs match the listing
I compared four of these on paper before ordering, so the line I actually checked was "Beta-glucan". The page says The soluble fibre associated with cholesterol reduction, present in all oat forms, and that is what turned up. Glycaemic index around 55 against about 79 for instant.

My mistake, but read the avoid note
Genuinely my own fault. Posting so somebody else does not repeat it. The listing says who should avoid this: Anyone who needs a one-minute breakfast — that is instant oats, with the glycaemic cost. That was my situation and I ordered anyway. It does what it says on the page — it just was not the thing I needed.
