Rolled Oats

Rolled oats are made by steaming and then pressing or rolling oat grains. They are one of the most popular and widely available healthy ingredients in the world. They contain fiber, protein, slow-release carbohydrates, and minerals such as magnesium and iron. Most commonly used to make porridge, muesli, or granola, they are also added to cookies, cakes, energy bars, and smoothies. They come in various forms, from fine instant oats to thick whole-grain flakes. The flavor is gently nutty and the texture becomes soft after cooking. They are an excellent choice for a healthy breakfast and as part of various desserts and savory dishes.
