Hot Choices Tuesday, February 9, 2010 Instant oatmeal is one of the great healthy foods, but there are other hot cereals for gray winter mornings. 1. Steel-cut oats You'll enjoy more of the oat grain with these than with instant oats, allowing for a richer flavor and more nutrients. 2. Cream of Wheat Eat this milled cereal to load up on vitamin B and iron. Skip the flavored varieties and add a touch of honey or maple syrup instead. 3. Hominy These puffy, creamy kernels are made from dried corn (sans hull and germ). Just crack open a can and heat. They're not as nutritious as oats, but give a good dose of fiber. 4. Hulled buckwheat This protein-packed grain (5.7 grams per serving) cooks slowly, so make a big batch for reheating all week. 5. Corn grits Ground hominy equals grits, a Southern staple and a good source of folate. Boost flavor and protein by heating grits with butter and sausage. 6. Ralston Essentially a wholegrain version of Cream of Wheat, Ralston has a wheatier flavor and more fiber to keep you feeling full until lunch.
