Your information on the oats is great! However you do not mention the length of time you can store all the different types of oats? If I can all of my oats from rolled oats to steel cut oats and p,ace oxygen absorbers in the cans how many years do you think they will store for in a temp. Of 65 degrees? Thank you can you please answer?

Old post – but thought I would add:

Rolled oats (aka Old-Fashioned Oats), can be put in food processor and processed to make quick oats. No need to purchase a different type. Depending on how long you let it process, you could probably even get down to almost instant, I would think. Haven’t tried to make instant though.

Whether I am making bread or, cookies, or cakes, anything that I use my hard white wheat in, when I go to grind my wheat, I add rolled oats to the wheat to be ground. I do it at ratio 1-to-1.

Have never had it not turn out, and taste is great.
