What it is

Oats are a whole grain grown for their nutritious seed. Organic ground oats are simply oats that have been milled into a powder. They are a common breakfast food and ingredient in many processed foods.

Why it's used

Ground oats are often used as a thickener in foods like soups and sauces. They can also add texture and nutritional value to baked goods, energy bars, and protein powders. Manufacturers use them to improve the mouthfeel and nutrient profile of products.

Health notes

Oats are recognized as a source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which the FDA acknowledges may help reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. The FDA considers oats a whole grain. International bodies like EFSA have also evaluated oats and their components. Evidence suggests oats can contribute to feelings of fullness and may play a role in managing blood sugar levels.

Allergen info

Oats themselves are not one of the nine major allergens. However, oats can be contaminated with gluten during growing or processing if they are not certified gluten-free. Cross-contact with wheat, barley, or rye is a concern.
