A Can of Oats is a packaged can of dry oats. It is a long keeping staple for breakfast and baking. A full can is very filling and holds a lot of energy.
The oats keep for months, so a can suits a long term food store. Cans of oats are found in office break rooms, house kitchens and the shelves of grocery and general stores.
Eating
A full Can of Oats lowers hunger by 50. It holds 1500 calories, with 405 grams of carbohydrates, 75 grams of protein and 45 grams of fat. That is a huge amount of food for a 0.8 weight item.
Oats can be eaten straight from the can, a little at a time. They are better turned into a Bowl of Oatmeal. A can lasts for several bowls, so one can feeds a character for many breakfasts. The calories make oats a good base food for keeping body weight steady.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Storage
A Can of Oats stays fresh for 180 days and is fully rotten by day 365. That makes it one of the longest keeping foods outside a sealed can. A fridge slows both counts down even further.
