When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

wonderfully tender
Examples:
Oats are a wonderfully tender grain which grows a grass with a mild sweetness. Oats grow a bit more slowly than most other grains
Four Leaf Milling Organic Stabilised Rolled Oats - 800gm
Certified organic. Tender Rolled Oats are processed the same as the Stabilized Oats but are rolled very thin....

Likewise, this morning's bowl of granola blew me away: big nut chunks, tender oats and grains, dried fruit, and most important, not sickly sweet like most granolas.

: This definitely sounds odd to my native US English ears, and your reference doesn't sway me, either, as it is from a translated website.

@ Silvia Here's a quote and another link that might be helpful:
Flaking
"... Typically the three sizes of steel cut oats are used to make instant, baby and quick rolled oats, whereas whole oat groats are used to make regular, medium and thick rolled oats. Oat flakes range from a thickness of 0.36 mm to 1.00 mm."

In response to Andrew...
There are indeed crunchy varieties of muesli, but I don't feel that an "extra zarte Flocken" sticker would appear on this kind.
