Whole oats have the simplest processing procedure and the most comprehensive nutrient retention, but because all the seed coats of oats are there, if they are cooked directly with whole oats, it will not only take a long time to cook, but also taste bad. However, if the whole oat is put together with millet, miscellaneous beans, walnuts and other foods to make miscellaneous grains rice paste, you can achieve the best of both worlds.

(2) Oatmeal with skin

Oatmeal with skin squashed takes a long time to cook, but it is much better than whole oats because it is squashed in advance, and also because it is squashed in advance, the starch in oats is easier to gelatinize during heating and tastes much better than whole oats. Therefore, such oatmeal is most suitable for soaking and directly cooking porridge with rice and millet, which not only tastes good, but also increases the nutritional value of porridge, and diabetics can also drink it.

(3) Instant oatmeal

Instant oatmeal is an oat product with many processing procedures. Such oatmeal is not only fried, but also peeled, but the nutritional components of such oatmeal also lose more than half with the processing process. But this kind of oatmeal also has an advantage, that is, it is easy to buy and cook at home. Such oatmeal is especially suitable for cooking with milk, which is not only simple to use, but also can make up for the loss of nutrition of oatmeal.

Oatmeal powder is ground from whole oats. If some bran is removed from oat flour, its nutritional value will also lose a large part. If it is whole wheat flour, it will also lose some nutrients during processing and storage. Therefore, it is best to make such oat products into steamed buns, jiaozi or cakes together with wheat flour, meat, vegetables and bean products.
