no edit summary
The '''oat''' <ref name="oat"/> (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed, which is known by the same name (usually in the plural, unlike other cereals and pseudocereals). While oats are suitable for human consumption as oatmeal and rolled oats, one of the most common uses is as livestock feed.
*Nutrient profile
Oat protein is nearly equivalent in quality to soy protein, which World Health Organization research has shown to be equal to meat, milk and egg protein.The protein content of the hull-less oat kernel (groat) ranges from 12 to 24%, the highest among cereals.
