Rolled Oats

Our Groats, Steel-Cut and Rolled Oats, will Keep You full and Feeling Good

Milled oats are a household name wherever you are in the world. Thought to have originated in Asia as a weed, its use eventually spread to the West, where the grain became a staple. We now use oats as a meal, flour, to make alternative milk, and in animal feed.

Nutritious and versatile, processed oats come in eight different forms. Each has an individual texture, cooking time and taste. Varieties include groats (the most natural), steel-cut (cut into two to four pieces), Scottish (stone ground), rolled (steamed then rolled), quick oats (rolled and chopped), instant (the most processed), and oat bran and flour.

Rolled oats are the most widely used and popular worldwide, and here’s why.

 

The Benefits of Traditional Rolled Oats

Oats are acknowledged as one of the healthiest grains available, keeping your blood sugar balanced, your weight down, and your heart healthy. Benefits of rolled oats (also known as old-fashioned oats, or just plain oats) for you and your family include:

  • A daily dose of health: In addition to comprising carbohydrates and fibre, oats contain more fat and protein than most grains. Oats also provide various B vitamins and minerals, including manganese, folate, zinc, copper, magnesium, and phosphorous. Oats yield antioxidants that help lower your blood pressure and protect your cells from oxidative damage. Among these is an antioxidant group almost unique to oats – avenanthramides, which have anti-inflammatory properties. All delivered in a tasty and low-calorie meal.
  • A slow release of energy: The carbohydrates in oats are low GI (Glycaemic Index), meaning its sugars are released steadily, maintaining stable blood sugar and energy throughout the day. The grain also contains beta-glucans, a type of sugar that reduces glucose response and improves insulin sensitivity, crucial for people living with diabetes. Oats further help keep you feeling fuller for longer, staving off those cravings for snacks that interfere with weight control.
  • Ease and versatility: Rolled oats are quick and easy to prepare for time-starved cooks and busy businesspersons. Use as a porridge for breakfast or prepare as a snack to keep your energy levels up in the afternoon. You can even leave a serving to soak overnight to heat in the morning. While traditionally considered a sweet meal, with consumers adding milk, sugar, cinnamon, fruit or even butter and peanut butter, oats are also ideal for savoury dishes. Their neutral, bland flavour is perfect for combining with vegetables, eggs, cheese and your favourite herbs and spices.

Oats also protect your child against asthma if introduced early, help relieve constipation, and can be used to soothe skin if topically applied.
