Rolled Oats

Rolled Oats

Also known as old-fashioned oats 

  • Processing: Steamed and flattened oat groats. 
  • Benefits:
    1. Still nutritious, retaining most of the fiber and protein.
    2. Moderate GI; provides a balance between slow digestion and convenience. 
    3. Cooks faster (5–10 minutes) and is versatile in recipes like oatmeal, granola, and baking. 
  • Drawbacks
    1. Slightly less fiber compared to steel-cut oats due to processing.
