[edit] About Oats

A cereal food that is relatively high in protein, fats and fibre content when compared to other cereals. Oats are usually rolled rather than crushed and are partially cooked during the process. They are often treated to make them cook faster and are mainly used in the preparation of popular breakfast cereals such and muesli and porridge, in the baking of breads, cakes and biscuits, and in the making of various beauty products. Oats are available in coarse, medium and fine grades.
