Description
Rolled oats are a type of lightly processed whole-grain food. They are made from oat groats that have been dehusked and steamed, before being rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers and then stabilized by being lightly toasted.
Thick-rolled oats usually remain unbroken during processing, while thin-rolled oats often become fragmented. Rolled whole oats, without further processing, can be cooked into a porridge and eaten as old-fashioned oats or Scottish oats ; when the oats are rolled thinner and steam- cooked more in the factory, they will later absorb water much more easily and cook faster into a porridge, and when processed this way are sometimes called "quick" or "instant" oats.
Rolled oats are most often the main ingredient in granola and muesli. They can be further processed into a coarse powder, which breaks down to nearly a liquid consistency when boiled. Cooked oatmeal powder is often used as baby food.
