The thick outer hull of the oat has been removed and the slender in size oat groat has been stabilized for human consumption. Oats can be milled in a variety of forms that include oat flour, regular oats, quick oats, and thick coats. Oat flour should be combined with other strong gluten content flours to provide structure, texture, and flavor in bread making. Possessing a nutty, light, sweet flavor, oats make a tasty and flavorful ingredient for oatmeal, porridge, cookies, scones, quick bread and granola. Oats are a good source of protein, dietary fiber, thiamin, phosphorus, and manganese.
