Oatmeal comparison
I've gotten into the habit of having basic oatmeal in the morning, occasionally adding a small number of raisins or dried cranberries or blueberries. This morning, I tried Trader Joe's Steal Cut Oatmeal (which is pricey, but really tasty). Initially, I thought the two were nutritionally identical, but then I noticed a difference in sugar. The ordinary oatmeal lists none, while Trader Joe's lists 7g.
My question is whether the difference is trivial (and whether it's made up for by my addition of a handful of raisins).
