Description

Oats have numerous uses in food; most commonly, they are rolled or crushed into oatmeal, or ground into fine oat flour. Oats are also an ingredient in many cold cereals, in particular muesli and granola. Oats may also be consumed raw. Oats are generally considered "healthful", or a health food, being touted commercially as nutritious. The discovery of their healthy cholesterol-lowering properties has led to wider appreciation. Oats contain more soluble fibre than any other grain, resulting in slower digestion and an extended sensation of fullness.
