Finns are porridge people and many people enjoy porridge, especially at breakfast. Oatmeal flakes have been popular with consumers for a long time, while the popularity of rye flakes and four grain flakes decreases.
– The Finnish diet and the range of grocery stores have changed quite a bit in a hundred years. It is comforting and soothing that certain things, such as oatmeal, are held on, says Elovena’s Brand Manager this year Meri Mattila From Raisio.
Oats have been a trendy raw material in Finland for a long time, which is likely to influence Finns’ awareness of oat health effects.

What’s the quick oat?
There are several varieties of oatmeal on the shelves of the shops: there are instant oatmeal, ordinary flakes and large oatmeal. What’s the difference between these really?
Mattila immediately rejects a misconception, which many are related to instant oatmeal.
– At some point, it may have been thought that instant oatmeal is somehow more processed than other oatmeal. It is not true. The difference between oatmeal is only how many parts of the grain have been chopped into a flake before flattening it and how a thin flake is flattened. The nutritional values in all oatmeal are the same.
A suitable oatmeal for your own use can be found when you think about your own taste.
– Some like a smoother and softer structure, while others want a texture in the porridge. Smooth porridge is created from instant oatmeal flakes that are very thin flakes. Instead, using traditional or large oatmeal, porridge comes more texture, Öhman advises and says that in the amount of fluid, it is also worthwhile to follow your own or family taste preferences. Some like a stiffer porridge, others are more fluid.
However, the perfect oatmeal Öhman has one tip that is worth putting behind your ear, regardless of flakes and fluid.
– You can get the most delicious porridge by doing it in anything other than just water. The fluid can be used as a fluid or a mixture of these and water and water.
