Oats

Rolled oats are made by steaming whole oat groats, then running them between rollers to make flat flakes. The steaming partially cooks the oats, which makes them cook faster when you use them in your cooking. Rolled oats are sold in the traditional size and also as jumbo oats.

Pinhead oats, also called ‘steel-cut oats’, are whole oats that have been cut into two or three pinhead-sized pieces. Pinhead oats are also used for porridge and are considered the Irish way of making porridge. They have more bite and a nuttier flavour.
