About Oatmeal cereal

Oatmeal cereal is a cereal food made primarily from oats, commonly in a form intended to be cooked or prepared with liquid. The record does not specify whether it uses whole, cut, rolled, or milled oats, or whether other ingredients are included.

When prepared, it can form a soft, spoonable cereal; texture varies with oat size, cooking, and liquid. Dry products may be flakes, pieces, or meal. The name indicates an oat-based cereal but not a single grain cut or formulation.
