Rolled Oats

Rolled Oats

All oats start out whole, with the grain and the husk intact. The husk is the tough covering that encases and protects each individual grain. Once that is removed, the oats (often called groats at this point) are steamed and flattened between heavy rollers, hence the name rolled oats. Afterwards, the oats are dried in a kiln to add flavor and to deactivate a naturally occurring enzyme in the oat that can break down fats into fatty acids, which cause oats to taste rancid. Rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats, are the most common type of oats found around the world.

Are Rolled Oats Healthy?

1 cup of cooked oats has about 150 calories, 3 grams of healthy fat, 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. Oats also contain iron and energy-boosting B-vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin and niacin and are especially high in soluble fiber, the kind that helps lower cholesterol when you mix it into a healthy diet.
