Porridge, made with water

Porridge made with water is a cooked cereal dish prepared by heating oats in water rather than milk. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with smaller amounts of protein, fibre and fat. Per 100g, this preparation provides 201 kJ of energy, 8.8g of carbohydrate, 1.4g of protein and 1g of fibre.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre helps support normal bowel function. This water-based preparation contains only trace amounts of sugars and salt. Adding milk, sugar, honey or salt changes its nutrient content, so these figures apply to the porridge prepared with water as described. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
