Never knew that Quaker Oats over processes their rolled oats. Always thought I was buying a healthy choice. Found out the over processing takes out all the nutrients so what is the point. I bought these and a oat groat flaker and never looked back. I know I am getting the most nutrients doing it this way. They taste so much fresher & cleaner also. Love these and the oat flaker.

Against what the directions state on the side of the bag, at least ~40-45 minutes for cooking, took more than an hour for fully soft/busted cooked oats!.When I coarsely grind groats or whole oats, then cooking only takes ~40-45 minutes for fully cooking/soft oats. I've since ceased grinding oats, and just boil an hour or use a pressure cooker.No other problems with quality here. Good stuff!Stove/Range Cooking~60 minutes3:1 ratio, three cups water to One cup of oats.Pressure Cooker, second/high pressure ringWARNING: oats can boil over clogging safety valves, only fill pot halfway?~15 minutes preserving oat texture~30 minutes until oats bust open3:1 ratio, three cups water to One cup of oats.American Test Kitchen has a good basic oatmeal recipe, using apple sauce, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Typically, I just add cinnamon, nutmeg and sometimes salt. Once cooked, I then use no fat milk and maybe a little maple syrup or sugar substitute.

This was my first time trying Oat Groats. I like this much more than regular Oatmeal or steel cut Oatmeal. I like foods with texture and this is chewy and tasty. I eat this almost daily as part of a healthier diet. I love that it's so versatile - I can go sweet or savory, depending on my mood. Easy to cook. This is now a staple and I keep a pack in my freezer as a backup. Highly recomnend.

My favorite oat groats for grinding my own flour.

Since the packaging read whole groats, I assumed they had hulls. WRONG! Never assume, I should know by now. Not happy with the slimy mush texture. Now I'm stuck with five pounds of them to eat. Blah! Exactly what I didn't want. Won't buy again! I'll stick with Yupik in the future.

Product is ok.

Love these oat groats! Such a satisfying grain. Highly recommend these.

We always try to eat healthy - this item definitely helps do it. We actually cooked a large amount in the instapot to use through the week. I can be used as regular oatmeal. I can see it used as a rice too with chicken and gravy over it. I've added frozen fruit and reheated in microwave. Also brown sugar and cinnamon are good. Definitely try it.
