Oatmeal. Oatmeal is made of hulled oat grains groats that have either been milled (ground) steel cut or rolled. Ground oats are also called "white oats". Steel cut oats are known as "coarse oatmeal" or "Irish oatmeal" or "pinhead oats". The Quaker white oats are produced not only in controlled organic but the bio-dynamic regional crops. Through organic fertilizer and herbs the natural fertility and forces of plants are particularly encouraged.
