Instant oats can be eaten without soaking in hot water. Instant oats can also be directly brewed with boiling water, and the rest oats need to be boiled for a certain period of time before they can be eaten. Raw oatmeal can not be directly soaked in boiling water, but needs to be boiled for 20-30 minutes. Cooked oatmeal needs to be cooked for 5 minutes, and cooked oatmeal needs only 3 minutes if it is cooked with milk, and it is best to stir it once in the middle.

Instant products cater to consumers' demand for convenience and delicacy, which is not necessarily consistent with health value. For example, most of these products are added with sugar and dextrin, which not only reduces the nutritional value, but also loses the advantages of low blood sugar and high satiety of oatmeal.

Edible note:

Oats are rich in nutrition, but they are not easy to digest. Therefore, it is necessary to master the principle of small amount and frequent consumption, and the daily consumption should be 40 grams, and children or the elderly should be less, otherwise it may cause stomach cramps or flatulence.

Old people or children should not eat a lot of oatmeal at dinner, even if they eat oatmeal. It is a good choice to make potato oatmeal cake with oat flour and potato flour, and then fry, bake or cook, with good flavor and taste.
