What it is

Cracked oats are whole oat groats that have been broken into smaller pieces. Oats are a type of cereal grain grown worldwide. The cracking process is a simple mechanical one, done to make the oats cook faster and more evenly.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cracked oats to add texture and whole-grain nutrition to foods. They are often found in baked goods like breads and muffins, as well as in breakfast cereals and granola. Their mild, nutty flavor also complements many sweet and savory dishes.

Health notes

Cracked oats are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a good source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been linked to heart health benefits. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated oats and their components. Evidence suggests that regular consumption of oats may contribute to managing cholesterol levels.

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. Look for 'certified gluten-free' oats if gluten avoidance is necessary.
