What it is

Rolled oats are whole oat groats that have been de-hulled, steamed, and rolled flat. This process makes them cook faster and creates a more tender texture. Oats are a type of cereal grain grown worldwide.

Why it's used

Rolled oats are commonly used as a breakfast food, often cooked into oatmeal. They are also a popular ingredient in granola, energy bars, cookies, and baked goods, where they add texture and a slightly nutty flavor.

Health notes

Oats are recognized as a source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been linked to heart health benefits. The FDA allows health claims related to oats and reduced risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated oats and did not specify a numerical ADI. Oats are generally considered safe and nutritious when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

Allergen info

Oats themselves are not one of the 9 major FDA allergens. However, oats can be contaminated with gluten from wheat, barley, or rye during growing, harvesting, or processing. Products labeled 'gluten-free' have undergone specific testing to ensure they meet FDA standards for gluten-free claims.
