The origin of the name "oatmeal"
Oh, what's the origin of this?

Oatmeal is oatmeal processed into thin slices, which is done for good ripening. Oats are usually used for breakfast, and it is easy to cook when made into thin slices. How long does it take to cook if it is granular?

Answer added: Then you are asking why oats are called oats? In fact, oats have other names: Bromus, Wild Wheat, Naked Wheat, Youmai, Yumai, and Skin Oats. Obviously, "Bromus" is close to "Oat" in literal meaning, while other names are similar to "Oat" in pronunciation. It is said that the earliest characters were "Fu" and "Pang". The name "Bromus" appeared in Tang Materia Medica, and later in the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Oats are mostly wild and are eaten by finches, hence the name". In other words, oats are named because this plant is usually eaten by finches. As for why the flakes we eat are called oatmeal, it is because they are semi-finished products processed into flakes.
