Oats are a heart heart-healthy food that can aid in weight loss, lower your risk of heart attack and type 2 diabetes, and even soothe itchy skin.
Types of oats: What’s the difference between oat varieties?
You’ve likely heard that steel-cut oats are healthier than whole oats or that instant oats aren’t as good for you. But both of those statements couldn’t be further from the truth. Believe it or not, all varieties of oats have the same nutrition profile per gram. The only difference is how they are cut.
All oats begin as groats, another name for the oat grain kernel. When groats are chopped into smaller pieces, they become steel-cut oats. To make rolled oats, the husk is removed from the groat and the grain is steamed and flattened. When cut into even smaller pieces, rolled oats become instant oats. Generally, the smaller the cut of the oat, the quicker the cooking time.
That said, all types of plain oats have the same nutrition per weight. The nutrients only change when other ingredients, like fruit, nuts or sugar, are added. The serving size will vary for different oat varieties. For example, just 1/4 cup of steel-cut oats is a 40-gram serving, whereas 40 grams of old fashioned and instant oats are a 1/2-cup serving.Eating oats is good for you in many ways, but there may be a few potential downsides.
, many oats are not processed in gluten-free facilities, making them unsafe for people with celiac disease. That said, many oat manufacturers sell gluten-free oat varieties that are safe for people who cannot tolerate gluten.. Obviously, this transforms a healthy breakfast staple into something similar to a sugary dessert. Instead of buying the flavored oatmeal, make your own and add natural sweetness with fresh or dried fruit.
