Saffola Oats Multigrain vs Quaker Oats Multigrain

Wondering which one to buy? Saffola Oats Multigrain or Quaker Oats Multigrain

Both have almost similar ingredients in varying proportions but Saffola Oats Multigrain additionally has Jowar flakes (18%) and Quinoa flakes (3%) for variety. 

If you’re avoiding added sugar, Quaker Oats Multigrain has just 1.2g per 100g, which might still be a dealbreaker if you’re really strict about it.
