You can buy and eat oat in 3 different ways:

• Oat flakes - you'll eat the whole grain and you'll benefit all the nutrients (first picture).
• Oat bran - you'll eat the outside of the grain, which is the one that has got the major quantity of fiber and will make you fill satiated. This can help your bowel motion. (second picture)
