Is Oats and oatmeal the same thing?
Oats are the whole grains or kernels that are the seed of the oat plant,
while oatmeal commonly refers to the cereal or porridge made by cooking processed oats in a hot liquid.
Coarsely ground oat kernels are also called oatmeal.
Well that question is kinda like asking if Corn is the same thing as Corn Flakes.
