Those are looking good (big and thick flakes, well separated from each other, also as an organic product probably caters to people like me, and the text explicitly confirms what I'm looking for).
Good to know it could be easier in the US to find good oats than in Canada or the UK (actually this is confirmed by me also finding good oats quite quickly in Boston when I was there for a few weeks).
Mostly I wanted to make the point that if you've tried making muesli with oats from a standard shop/super market in a non-Swiss country (likely with the exception of Germany and Austria?), then chances are you didn't enjoy it because they were not suited for the purpose, and it might pay off trying again.
Reading Wikipedia [1] I notice that I should also try steel-cut oats some time (more bran meaning more taste and health benefits?)

- Ras_ 11y agoI think the mushy ones go through steaming. So just choose dry-rolled/steel-cut vs. steam-flaked/rolled. Like GFK_of_xmaspast said, it's largely a matter of choosing the porridge/baking shelves instead of cereal/muesli shelves.
- pflanze 11y agoI'm not sure there's such a thing as non-steamed dry-rolled oats. Do you have a reference that those exist? The Wikipedia article I linked says that even steel-cut oats are steamed. > it's largely a matter of choosing the porridge/baking shelves This must be a US thing. I've never seen the brand that GFK_of_xmaspast mentioned in the UK or Canada, and have never seen any oats with that kind of quality in any supermarket in either country either.
