Porridge oats, on the other hand, are usually cut into smaller pieces before being steamed and rolled. This makes them cook faster and gives them a creamier texture. It's all about the texture, baby!
Now, you might be wondering, what's the big deal about the difference between rolled oats and porridge oats? Well, it's all about the absorption rate! Porridge oats absorb more liquid than rolled oats, making them perfect for, you guessed it, porridge!
But, here's the thing - some countries use the terms rolled oats and porridge oats interchangeably! So, if you're traveling abroad and see porridge oats on the shelf, don't be confused - it's probably just rolled oats in disguise!
