A cereal crop or its grains (4)

I believe the answer is:

oats

(Other definitions for oats that I've seen before include "Grains used as food and fodder" , "Porridge ingredient" , "Food for horses and Scots (said Dr Johnson)" , "Cereal grass and seeds" , "A cereal crop" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
