Signature Select Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
What it is
These are whole oat groats that have been steamed and then rolled flat into flakes. This process makes them cook more evenly and quickly than steel-cut oats. They are a versatile pantry staple, offering a hearty and satisfying base for many breakfast dishes. The oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates and are naturally free from any added sugars or artificial ingredients.
How people cook with it
Rolled oats are a fundamental ingredient for a warm and comforting breakfast. They can also be incorporated into a variety of baked goods and savory dishes.
- Hot cereal base
- Baked goods ingredient
- Granola component
- Savory porridge
To prepare a simple bowl of hot cereal, combine one part rolled oats with two parts liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats reach your desired consistency. You can also prepare them in the microwave for a quicker option. For baked goods, they add texture and substance to cookies, muffins, and breads. They are also excellent when toasted for homemade granola.
How it differs from similar foods
Old-fashioned rolled oats are thicker and chewier than instant or quick-cooking oats. They require a longer cooking time but retain more of their natural texture and flavor. Steel-cut oats, on the other hand, are cut into pieces and have a nuttier taste and firmer bite.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a wholesome and adaptable breakfast grain will appreciate these oats.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the remaining rolled oats in their original packaging or transfer them to an airtight container. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help prevent them from becoming stale or absorbing odors from other pantry items.
