Bob's Red Mill Organic Quick Cooking Rolled Oats are completely natural and not pre-cooked like instant oats. They're freshly milled from the highest quality organic oats available anywhere. These oats are rolled thinner than regular oats to shorten the cooking time.

Oats as we know them today originate from the wild red oat, a plant with origins in Asia. Originally cultivated for medicinal purposes, they were used as animal feed for a long time before humans deemed them fit for consumption. Oats helped fuel the civil wars in Scotland and have deep roots in Great Britain, Germany and Scandinavia.
