What it is

Whole grain oats are the entire oat groat, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. They are a type of cereal grain grown for their seed. Oats are typically processed into rolled oats, steel-cut oats, or oat flour for use in food.

Why it's used

Oats are often used as a breakfast cereal or as an ingredient in baked goods like bread and cookies. They can also be used as a thickener or binder in processed foods. Their mild flavor and texture make them versatile in many food applications.

Health notes

Oats are recognized as a whole grain and are a source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan. The FDA recognizes whole grain oats as part of a healthy diet. Peer-reviewed reviews suggest that the soluble fiber in oats may help lower cholesterol levels. JECFA has evaluated oats and did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).

Allergen info

Oats themselves 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.
