Oat groats are the only way to go when you want good fresh rolled oats. The shelf life of the groats exceed that of rolled oats by many years, and all of the nutrients remain intact.
The taste of oatmeal from freshly rolled oats is far superior to the rolled oats you buy off of the store shelf.
I recently watched a video report testing foods that had been stored for long periods of time. One of the foods taste tested was 28 year old rolled oats that had been stored in a #10 can. The "scientific" test concluded that the oats were tolerable in the event of an emergency.
Why choose to tolerate your food, when you can enjoy it instead?
Store oat groats and roll fresh nutritious oats whenever you need them.
