Difference between waxy oats and oats

People often sell "waxy oats" in the vegetable market at home, which tastes different from ordinary oats and is slippery. Glutinous rice is added to oats.

Oats are generally divided into two types: barnyard grass type and naked grain type. The oats planted all over the world are mainly barnyard grass, which is often called skin oats. Oats grown in China are mainly naked oats, which are often called naked oats. Naked oats have many aliases and are called naked oats in northern China. The northwest is called Yumai; Southwest is called oats, sometimes called naked oats; Northeast China is called Zhongmai.

General oats are relatively pure, while waxy oats add some elements, such as glutinous rice, millet and other miscellaneous grains.
