Whole grain cereals

I finally made it to the Roller Mills and bought some whole grain cereal. Above is the six-grain rolled cereal that includes a mixture of red wheat, white wheat, rye, oats, barley and sunflower (seeds?). It comes in a 3.5 lb. ice-cream-size bucket and costs $7.00. You can also buy it in a 25-lb or 50-lb bag, but I figured I'd try it first.

Below is a picture of the 9-grain cracked cereal. It includes red wheat, white wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn, millet, flax, and buckwheat. The bucket is the same size as the other one, but with being cracked rather than rolled it weighs 4.5 pounds instead of 3, and the cost is cheaper for $6.25. It also comes in either a 25- or 50-lb. sack if you like. I'm going to put it on to soak overnight so I can try that recipe from my last post for breakfast tomorrow morning. I'll let you know how I like it.

I wonder if you could use the rolled cereal in oatmeal cookies, and if it would taste any different or alter the nutritional value. I'm sure it's probably more expensive than just the plain rolled oats, but still, it might be fun to try.
