What it is

Organic rolled oats are whole oat groats that have been de-hulled, steamed, and then rolled flat. This process makes them cook more quickly and evenly. They are a whole grain, meaning they contain all parts of the grain kernel: the bran, germ, and endosperm.

Why it's used

Oats are primarily used as a whole grain in breakfast cereals, oatmeal, and granola bars. They add texture, fiber, and a mild, nutty flavor to baked goods like cookies and muffins. Their soluble fiber content also contributes to a feeling of fullness.

Health notes

Oats are considered a whole grain and are a good source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan. The FDA recognizes that soluble fiber from oats may help reduce the risk of heart disease. JECFA has evaluated oats and found them to be safe. They are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food.

Allergen info

Oats themselves are not one of the nine major allergens. However, they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, and may be contaminated with gluten, which is a concern for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Certified gluten-free oats are available.
