How to Sow Your Oats
Sowing your oats...as in your breakfast. It's a breakfast classic with so many types to choose from. There are the familiar Quaker oats which are rolled oats. Then there are steel cut oats. Then there are instant rolled oats. They all seem to be a healthy choice, but are they? Yes, the burning question most of you have pondered. Different Types of Oats- Rolled Oats (old fashioned)- these oats are first steamed, then rolled, steamed again and then toasted. This means that they are partially cooked during processing and why they can cook fairly quickly.
- Instant Rolled Oats- these oats have been rolled even thinner, then chopped up into almost a powder. These are the most processed and you will typically find them with added sugars and flavors.
- Steel Cut Oats-these oats are as close to whole oats with no or minimal processing. These whole oats (also known as groats) are chopped into piec
 es. These take the longest of the oats to cook as they have not been processed or pre-cooked. However, these are the most beneficial.
