Oatmeal is a ready-to-eat or heated food made from cereals such as oats, barley, wheat, buckwheat, corn and rice.

At present, cereals on the market are divided into pure cereals and mixed cereals according to the different main raw materials.

Pure cereal contains no white sugar and salt, and retains most of the nutrients in wheat raw materials, which is especially suitable for the elderly, diabetics and people with high blood lipid and blood sugar.
