What it is

Rolled oats are whole oat groats that have been de-hulled, steamed, and flattened into flakes. This process makes them quicker to cook and easier to digest than whole oat groats. Oats are a type of cereal grain grown worldwide.

Why it's used

Rolled oats are commonly used as a topping for baked goods like breads, muffins, and cookies to add texture and a nutty flavor. They are also a primary ingredient in oatmeal, granola, and energy bars, providing fiber and a satisfying chew.

Health notes

Rolled oats are recognized as safe by the FDA. They are a good source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been associated with benefits for heart health, such as helping to lower cholesterol levels. The World Health Organization (WHO) has not specifically evaluated rolled oats, but whole grains like oats are generally recommended as part of a healthy diet.

Allergen info

Oats 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. Wheat is a major allergen.
