From Groats to Oats
Groats go through further processing to make a variety of oat products:
| steel cut oats | To make steel cut oats, groats are simply cut into two to four pieces. Because there is minimal change to the groat, it is considered the least processed option. |
| Rolled oats | Rolled oats are made by steaming and then flattening the groats between two rollers. The steam adds moisture, to prevent them from crumbling while rolling. |
| Quick oats | Quick oats are made the same way as rolled oats, they're just rolled thinner; the thinner the flake the shorter the cooking time. (1) |
