Question: what is difference between rolled oats and oatmeal?
Answer: Oats are most commonly rolled or crushed, and can be consumed as oatmeal (porridge), in baked goods, bread, muesli and granola. Whole grain oats are called oat groats. Quick, or instant oatmeal is made up of more thinly rolled or cut oats that absorb water much more easily and therefore cook faster.
