A New Oatmeal

Oatmeal from Ocean Spray? Really?.. Yes—and it’s really, really good.

Ocean Spray, the more than 75 year old company that raised the Cranberry to new heights, has teamed with Manawa, Wis., based Sturm Foods to bring us Ocean Spray Instant Oatmeal. This very quick hot breakfast cereal is made with whole grain oats, real fruit and 10 vitamins and minerals and is available in 4 varieties: Cranberry, Cranberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Honey Multigrain, Cranberry Orange Muffin.

The taste is just sweet enough and because oatmeal has a way of sticking with you for quite a while after you have eaten it, you won’t get hungry until it is time for the next meal. Ocean Spray knows their cranberries and other fruits and Sturm Foods knows oatmeal.

Here is a little information about Ocean Spray: They first introduced Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail in 1930. Then in 1963, Ocean Spray introduced the juice industry's first juice blend--Cran•Apple™ Cranberry Apple Juice Drink. It was so popular, they added more new flavors to the line, including low calorie cranberry juice blends.

A few interesting facts about cranberries from their website

 The cranberry gets its name from Dutch and German settlers, who nicknamed it the "crane berry" after the shape of the blossoms. When the vines bloom in the late spring and the flowers' light pink petals twist back they have a resemblance to the head and bill of a crane. Over time, the name was shortened to cranberry.

 The cranberry is one of only a handful of major fruits native to North America. Others include the blueberry and Concord grape.

 On average, every acre of cranberry bog is supported by 4 to 10 acres of wetlands, woodlands and uplands. This area offers refuge to a rich variety of wildlife including the bald eagle, osprey, great blue heron, fox, deer and wild turkey.

All you need to know for breakfast, though is Ocean Spray Instant Oatmeal is a tasty and wholesome start to the day.
