About Coarse Oatmeal
The rougher texture of this coarse oatmeal lets the nutty oaty flavour through. It is perfect for those who like their porridge with a slightly chunky texture. It also makes excellent skirlie. Coarse oatmeal is also known as steel cut oat groats or pinhead oatmeal.
Pinhead oats add texture to porridge, soups and crumbles. They are wholegrain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. They are more yellowy and golden than oat flakes and are not dissimilar to broken rice. Steel-cut oats are also called Irish oats. Many people confuse Scottish Oats or Scottish Oatmeal with steel cut. However Scottish Oats are steel-cut oats that have been first steamed and then ground into an oatmeal. These are the wholegrain oat.
