Quaker Oats has introduced "oats for rice" for some time. It's a form of processed oats that makes it possible for us to just mix the oats with uncooked rice and cook it together with our rice. I've been wanting to try it out, but never seemed to find it in supermarkets. Then recently I found it in the rice section of a supermarket. Turns out that I had been looking in the wrong place... I was looking at the oats section!
Here's the package:
Poured into a container:
The oats are more puffed up than normal rolled oats, I guess because they have been pre-cooked with a bit of moisture.
After cooking (the recommended ratio of rice to oats is 2:1)
After being cooked, the rice-oats mixture has the fragrance of oats if you smell it, but there is no taste of oats when eating it (or if there is, then it's very slight). I guess it's a good way for people who hate the taste of oats to get oats into their diet. I don't really need it though... since I have discovered overnight oats not too long ago... and soaking rolled oats in chocolate milk (half cup oats with one cup milk) tastes great to me!
