Whole Grain Oats
Oats are one of the most popular foods in the realm of healthy eating. In addition to regular oats, you can also find instant oatmeal, which makes preparing this beloved dish much quicker. Regular consumption of oats has been proven to help lower cholesterol levels, support the immune system, and promote gut health. Here are some common types of oats you can choose from:
- Rolled Oats (also known as Old Fashioned): Made by steaming, rolling, and then drying the oats, similar to other types of flakes.
- Instant Oats: These are produced by cutting the grain before rolling. Nutritionally, they lose nothing, and are easily mixed with water or milk. Try one of our best sellers — 1 Minute Oats, also available in a gluten‑free version.
- Sprouted Oats: Easier to digest, made from sprouted oats where biochemical processes partially break down nutrients.
- Jumbo Oats: Large oat flakes ideal for making granola, flapjacks, or cookies — try our Wholegrain Jumbo Oats.
Oats are naturally gluten‑free, but due to possible contamination with other grains, it's important to check for gluten content on each product. Those with celiac disease or a gluten allergy should choose products specifically labeled "gluten‑free."
