Bob's Moulin Rouge was founded in 1978 in Oregon, USA, and the founder is an old man on the logo, which is very recognizable. In the U.S., Bob's Red Mill is USDA Certified Organic, High Fiber and has a proprietary line of gluten-free cereals that can be eaten by people with gluten allergies.
 
Bob's Red Mill focuses on the traditional way of producing natural whole grains, and most of its cereal products are only primary processing, using traditional stone mills to grind at low temperatures, which retains the original grain flavor of oats to the greatest extent, with good chewiness and springiness.
 
Steel-cut oat kernels are the star product of Bob's Red Mill, and it is difficult to buy similar products in the domestic market except for Bob's Red Mill. Steel cutting is a shallow processing method, different from the traditional tableting treatment, steel cutting oat kernels is to cut the whole oat kernels into sections, even the skin is not grinding, and there is almost no nutrient loss. Bob's Red Mill's steel-cut oats are suitable for cooking oatmeal porridge, which has a strong aroma and dissolves oats β-glucan that makes the porridge very viscous and not too bland.
 
The glycemic index (GI) of oats is 40~60, and the β-glucan contained in oats is a soluble dietary fiber, which has a strong sense of satiety after eating and can effectively reduce postprandial blood sugar changes. In 2009, Bob's Moulin Rouge won the Golden Spoon for the Champion of the World Oatmeal Championship in Scotland. When cooking oatmeal porridge, because steel-cut oats are not as easy to cook as quick-cook and ready-to-eat cereals, they need to be cooked in advance, it is recommended to pour steel-cut oats and water into the pot according to the ratio of one to four, turn off the heat one minute after boiling, simmer overnight and then boil for one minute in the morning, and then boil for one minute.
 
Bob's Red Mill is very meticulous in the processing of oats, in addition to steel-cut oat kernels, there are also traditional oats, ready-to-eat oats, etc., and the oat bran is also sold separately. Bob's Red Mill's traditional oats are pressed thicker and more chewy when cooked than plain oatmeal, and are also available in thicker traditional oats for more complete grains.
 
Oat bran is the shell removed during the initial processing of oats, compared with the embryo of oats, oat bran has lower starch and fat, high content of trace elements and fiber, and a glycemic index of about 55, which is lower than that of rice white flour. Although oat bran is healthy, it is slimy when cooked, and the taste is average and there is nothing special.
 
Bob's Red Mill oatmeal is mainly in a family pack of about 1kg, and the steel-cut oats and ready-to-eat oats are available in small packages, with an average price of about 45 yuan per kilogram, which is nearly twice as high as the same specification of Quaker, but it is still one of the first choices for healthy cereals.
