Answer : OATS
oat – n
annual grass of Europe and North Africa; grains used as food and fodder (referred to primarily in the plural: `oats’)
seed of the annual grass Avena sativa (spoken of primarily in the plural as `oats’)
Oats are believed to have been cultivated as early as 1000 B.C. by the Greeks and Romans, who primarily harvested them for animal feed. While oats have been a staple form of nourishment in Scotland for centuries, oatmeal’s presence as a mainstream breakfast food is relatively recent. The Quaker Oats Company helped propel oatmeal’s popularity in the U.S. by pioneering faster-cooking varieties such as rolled oats in the late 1800s, and instant oats in 1966.
Today, oatmeal is identified by its degree of processing, of which can affect its texture, flavor, and cook time. Generally, the more processed the oat, the faster it will cook. Less processed varieties such as steel-cut oats and whole oat groats tend to retain their flavor and texture more.
