No matter the season, oatmeal is the king of the breakfast table. It’s warm, satisfying, and hearty enough to carry us through to lunchtime. Beyond a hot bowl at breakfast, oats show up in pancakes, muffins, cookies, granola bars, and so much more.
Rolled oats, or whole, old-fashioned oats are perfect for most recipes. These oats absorb more liquid and retain their shape and texture well when cooking. Oats are widely accepted as nutritional powerhouses for dietary fiber and protein. Oats contain a special type of fiber that is especially good for the reduction of cholesterol called beta-glucan. Beta-glucans also aid in the support of the immune system and can help regulate blood sugar. They are also wonderful for soothing irritated skin when used in baths.
