Steel Cut Oats 500g

Description

Oats are ancient grains and were initially fed to animals and shunned by Romans & Greeks. However, after the fall of the Roman empire, the tribes that used to eat oats passed on their knowledge about these nutritious grains to the world. Today we use oats in breakfast, baby food, puddings, baking and, porridges. When the whole oat groats are sliced by steel blade into 2 or 3 pieces, we get steel-cut oats. They are also called Irish oats or pinhead oats. Compared to rolled oats, they are chewy, coarse, nutty, have to be soaked for a longer time and, take longer to cook.

Nutritionally they are very similar to Rolled Oats. TruNaturals steel-cut oats are rich in fibre, protein, antioxidants, minerals and, vitamins. Steel cuts oats are mostly eaten as porridge made with the milk of choice or water. You can add a sweetener to taste and top them with nuts and seeds of your choice. You can top them with fresh seasonal fruits of your choice. They are a perfect staple food for people with diabetes, as they have a low glycaemic index and do not cause blood glucose levels to spike.
