We have had a couple people ask about the texture of the Rolled Oat Cereal we've recently started offering. So we asked Sunrise Flour Mill for a little more detail and here's what we have to share:
Our Oat Cereal is freshly-flaked each day in small batches from organic oat groats. Unlike conventional oat cereal, we don't temper our oats with water during the milling process in order to preserve maximum flavor and nutrition. Because of this, some variation in size and shape of the flaked oats is normal.
The photo shows the coarseness of our oats. I would describe the grind as coarsely flaked.
Oats - Thick and cracked
$12
2 lbs avg
Box 845
$5.80/lb
Fresh Organic Oats
2.5 lbs of Freshly-flaked organic oats - minimal processing to retain maximum flavor and nutrition.
These oats are milled by hand and have variation in each bag, some will be thicker, almost like a cracked oat and others will be thiner. This creates a nice texture variation when soaking overnight for porridge/cereal. If using for quick oat cereal (i.e. not soaking overnight) you'll want to include a bit more water and slow cook longer. They work well in cookies and such, the variation creates a nice texture difference. However, if your recipe needs a uniform thickness, you may want to use a different brand of oats.
