Oats, formally named Avena sativa, is a type of cereal grain from the Poaceae grass family of plants. The grain refers specifically to the edible seeds of oat grass, which is what ends up in our breakfast bowls. Whether loved or hated for their mushy yet hearty texture when cooked, oats are most prized for their nutritional value and health benefits. The Food and Drug Administration allows the use of a health claim on food labels associating a reduced risk of coronary heart disease with the consumption of beta-glucan soluble fiber from whole grain oats.Enjoy a deliciously wholesome, chewy, hot cereal or on the go snack that provides lasting energy all morning. Broken oats are a favourite breakfast cereal and the perfect way to start your day. Also called Scottish oats or Irish oats are groats (whole oat kernels) cut into two or three pieces. The difference between rolled and broken oats is that steel cut leaves the endosperm intact, making them healthier than rolled.
