Oats, Steel Cut
Oats have excellent nutritional qualities and are rich in protein, seven B vitamins, calcium, fiber, and unsaturated fats. Flour from oats is gluten free, and it is believed that oat bran lowers cholesterol.
The reason oatmeal keeps longer than other grains is because the heat used to process it destroys the enzymes that hasten staling.
Oat groats are untreated, natural, hulled oats with the outermost inedible chaff, or hull, removed.
Quick oats are groats that have been steel-cut into pieces before being steamed and flattened by steel rollers into thin flakes. Quick oats have less texture and are less chewy than rolled oats.
Steaming then crushing oat groats between steel rollers make rolled oats, also called old-fashioned oats. The cholesterol lowering bran and B viatmains are retained. Old-fashioned oats and quick oats can usually be interchanged in recipes.
Use oats in cereal, cookies, breads, pancakes, and waffles.
