What are Oats?
Formerly known as cereal oats, oats are a cereal grain in the family Poaceae, a family of grasses. What we tend to eat as our cereal is nothing but edible oat grass seeds. Thanks to its high content of soluble fiber, phosphorus, beta-glucan, magnesium, thiamine, atomic number 30, oatmeal is a popular snack for those looking to stay healthy. It has a positive impact on cardiovascular disease, weight loss, diabetes, and healthy biological processes.
When preparing oats, it is advisable to use oatmeal rather than instant oats or quick oats that are available in packaged form, as the latter may contain unwanted sugars. It's best to add your own toppings and flavorings to unsweetened oats to keep added sugars to a minimum. With that in mind, let's tackle some eye-catching oatmeal recipes.
Your nutrition can determine various aspects of your health and well-being and is vital to living a happy and healthy life.
