They have a lower summer heat need and are able to survive more rain than other cereals like wheat, rye or barley - Origin: Grains * The wild ancestor of 'Avena sativa' and the similar minor crop, 'A. byzantina', is the hexaploid wild oat 'A. sterilis'. Science of DNA shows that the ancestor forms of 'A. sterilis' grew in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East. Domesticated oats appear later. They are also far from the Near East, in Bronze Age Europe. Oats are like rye. They are normally thought as a less important crop, i.e. coming from a weed out of the main cereals wheat and barley. As these cereals spread into cooler, wetter places, this may have favored the oat weed. This quickly leads to its common use. Zhou, X., Jellen, E.N., Murphy, J.P. 1999 * Oats have many uses in food. Most of the time they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into oat flour. Oatmeal is also eaten as porridge, but may also be used in many of baked goods, such as oat cakes, oatmeal cookies, and oat bread. Oats are also an substance used in many cold cereals, in particular muesli and granola. Without cooking, oats may also be taken as food	{ "source": "generics_kb" }

Some cows are sick and old, and others are healthy and young. Some wheat is good and other wheat is moldy or stale. So if a person trades cows for wheat, he might have a hard time arguing over how much wheat each cow is worth. However, money is 'standard'. That means one dollar is worth the same as another dollar. It is easier to add up and count money, than to add up the value of different cows or amounts of wheat. + Zinc, Uses, In biology: Chemical elements :: Transition metals * Zinc is found in at least 100 enzymes.
