whole oats

Intact cereal grains

Whole oats are oat grains with only the inedible outer hull removed, retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm.

They take longer to cook than processed forms like rolled or steel-cut oats but offer more fiber and nutrients.

Also called oat groats: I soak whole oats overnight before cooking them for breakfast.
