What it is
Steel cut oats are whole oat groats that have been chopped into 2 or 3 smaller pieces. They are made by passing the oat groats through steel blades. This process results in a coarser texture and longer cooking time compared to rolled oats.
Why it's used
Steel cut oats are primarily used as a whole grain ingredient in breakfast cereals and baked goods. They provide a hearty texture and nutty flavor. Manufacturers use them to add fiber and a satisfying chew to products like oatmeal, breads, and granola.
Health notes
Steel cut oats are a whole grain and a good source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan. The FDA recognizes whole grains as part of a healthy dietary pattern. While not specifically evaluated by JECFA or EFSA as a standalone additive, oats are generally considered safe and nutritious. Evidence suggests that the soluble fiber in oats may help support heart health by contributing to healthy cholesterol levels.
Allergen info
Oats are naturally gluten-free, but they are often processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, and rye, leading to potential cross-contamination. Oats themselves are not one of the 9 FDA major allergens.
