What it is
Rolled oats are whole oat groats that have been cleaned, dehulled, and then steamed and rolled into flat flakes. This process makes them easier and faster to cook than whole oat groats. Oats are a type of cereal grain.
Why it's used
Rolled oats are primarily used as a whole grain ingredient, providing texture and nutritional value. They are a staple in breakfast cereals, oatmeal, and baked goods like cookies, muffins, and granola bars. Their fiber content also contributes to a satisfying mouthfeel.
Health notes
Rolled oats are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been linked to heart health benefits, such as helping to lower cholesterol levels. The WHO has recognized the health benefits of oats. JECFA has evaluated oats and their components.
Allergen info
Oats are not one of the nine major allergens. However, oats can be contaminated with gluten from wheat, barley, or rye during growing or processing. Products labeled 'gluten-free oats' are grown and processed to avoid this cross-contamination.
