Oats are generally considered to have a neutral flavor profile, with a hint of sweetness.
While oats don't have a strong, overpowering flavor, they lean towards a subtly sweet taste with nutty and earthy undertones. This mild sweetness is easily influenced by other ingredients, making oats versatile for both sweet and savory dishes. So, on their own, they're not distinctly "salty," but more of a blank canvas with a touch of sweetness.
