Oats & Flour

Oats are whole grains, and flour is a powder made from grinding grains, seeds, or roots. Oat flour is made by grinding whole oats. Wheat flour, a common type, is made from grinding wheat berries.

Flour is a primary ingredient in baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies, providing structure. Oats are often used in oatmeal, granola, and baked goods, adding texture and a nutty flavor.

Oats are a good source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which may help manage cholesterol levels. Whole grain flours offer more nutrients and fiber than refined flours. The FDA considers oats and most common flours to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption of oats and whole grain flours.
