Prompt: What's an Oatmeal?

Response:

Oatmeal is a type of food made from oats that have been ground, rolled, or steel-cut. It's commonly prepared as a hot cereal by boiling the oats in water or milk until they soften and form a porridge-like consistency. Oatmeal can be served plain or with various toppings like fruits, nuts, sweeteners, and spices.

There are different forms of oats used for making oatmeal, including:

• Old-fashioned rolled oats: Flattened oats that cook faster than steel-cut oats.
• Steel-cut oats: Whole oats that have been chopped into smaller pieces, giving them a chewier texture and longer cooking time.
• Instant oats: Pre-cooked and dried oats that cook the fastest but often have a mushier texture.

Oatmeal is known for being a nutritious breakfast choice, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it helps to provide long-lasting energy.
