But spend even a few days getting to know her and I think youâll agree that Quito is a very special place. Often called the âmost beautiful big city in South Americaâ for its location in the palm of a valley cupped between towering Andean peaks, Quito has so many parks and plazas, itâs hard to pick a favorite.

Steel-cut oats are the whole oat kernel, which is cut into two or three pieces using steel discs. They are a better source of fiber than rolled oats, but take longer to cook. Rolled oats have the bran mostly removed and are rolled flat to make them easier to cook.
Steel-cut and rolled oats have less added sugars -- we often find that instant/quick oats have added flavours (especially the gourmet sachets). It's important to keep an eye out for added sugars (check for flavours like honey or apple and cinnamon and beware of dried fruits).
