Some "oil seeds" (etc) go bad / rancid over time ... is it true that OATS can last YEARS?

I had a lot of seeds / nuts, if not all seeds / nuts go bad within a year or so ... (I had small camping-snack-style bags of seeds / nuts -- plus culinary bags of cooking nuts / seeds for cookies and cakes -- and they all went rancid / stale.)

(Such as, I'd love to be able to add these seeds / nuts to my oatmeal, and buy them in bulk ... but they seem to go bad / rancid / stale.)

... Do oats stay good for many years (in dry / cool place and box)?

... also, do BEANS stay good for many years?

Is it just SEEDS or OILY SEEDS that go bad (sunflower seeds, etc)?

long story long, i just talked to my mom, who recommended this moisterizer w/ colloidal oatmeal, as i had been looking for a moisturizer (as well as something with oatmeal, seeing i had been experimenting w/ it..) and it was a coincidence that she was currently using a product with oatmeal as an ingredient... also, i started investigating a "mushed up oatmeal" typeve thing that can act as the daily snack (as i do not like any chocolate or sweets) So i am working on a healthy oatmeal alternative, that is... maybe similar to cream of wheat, or something. itll take me some time to balance the savory and the sweet, and any healthy elements (like fruits and maybe a vegetable, you never know, it might go towards the savory spectrum...)

Feel free to add suggestions. You never know what we might randomly invent.

Hi everyone. I am from China and the only i know to cook meal is to cook them with milk. I tried with water but it doesn’t taste good. Do we have any other liquid okay for that or i should season it during my cooking. Thank you so much, this could be a silly question.

I loveeee oatmeal so so much, however, I’m picky on how it has to be. I love it to be thick but I can never seem to get it thick enough 🫠 it’s always runny or watery. I’ve tried adding the amount of water it suggests and I’ve tried less water. Any tips? Also, what do you guys like to put in your oatmeal to make it more filling and flavorful?

Do you eat your oats hot or cold?

Any recommendations??

I've tried at least 3 different brands of "Old Fashioned" oatmeal (Quaker, HEB, Red Mill) in the last few months, but all of them seem to have a problem with having a lot of hulls. This picture is what I picked out from 1 cup of oats. Any tips on efficiently removing these nasties or better brand suggestions? Save my breakfast 😢

I really enjoyed oatmeal in the past and this sub has inspired me to get something warm and yummy for my breakfast.

But my downfall is that I don’t have a microwave.

I do have a stove, kettle, and rice cooker. What’s the best way to prep/cook oatmeal to get these amazing meals?! What type of oats are the best?? I have only ever had instant 🫣
