Selection method of high-quality oatmeal:
First of all, you must pay attention to the taste of the cereal you buy. You need to pay attention when choosing it. You can smell the taste of the cereal. If the cereal smells like a pure natural aroma, it means that the quality of the cereal is still relatively good. However, if there are some other flavors, or there are some musty smells, don't buy it. This kind of cereal is not a good cereal.
Secondly, when you buy cereal, you can look at the shape of cereal. Under normal circumstances, cereal is made by pressing the whole wheat. Don't buy cereal if it is broken. This kind of cereal is inferior. If there seems to be some yellow in the white, it is a good cereal if it is intact. If it is powdery and the color is wrong, don't buy this cereal.
Finally, we should look at the ingredients of cereal. Generally, the ingredients of cereal are relatively pure. Now there are many high-calcium and ordinary cereals, but it is better to buy cereal with relatively high purity, so it will be better to cook it at home.
