Vilma recalled that she has been eating Quaker Oats for breakfast since she was a young girl, a habit she has passed on to her children. This is why ever since he was a child, Luis has been adding Quaker Oats to his daily meals to stay healthy. Quaker Oats has seven times more fiber than long-grain white rice, essential to maintaining a healthy heart and digestive system.
Despite their success in their respective careers, the mother and son duo are always open to trying new things and exploring ways to enjoy eating healthy food. Recently, they’ve been combining Quaker Oats with their favorite dishes like congee, and here they share with us their recipe for savory congee.
