100% Organic Steel Cut Oats

Steel cut oats are whole oat groats that have been chopped into smaller pieces. They are made by passing the oat groats through steel blades. This process results in a coarser texture and a longer cooking time compared to rolled oats.

Steel cut oats are primarily used as a breakfast cereal. They can also be incorporated into baked goods, granola, or used as a base for savory dishes. Their hearty texture and nutty flavor make them a versatile ingredient.

Steel cut oats are a whole grain and a good source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan. Beta-glucan has been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. The FDA allows health claims about soluble fiber from oats and reduced risk of heart disease. No specific regulatory bodies like JECFA or EFSA have set limits for whole oats as they are considered a food, not an additive.
