What are steel-cut oats?

Steel-cut oats are organic whole grain oats that have been cut into tiny pieces using a steel mill. They are the least processed when compared to rolled oats and instant oats which means they also take the longest amount of time to cook. I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats, so they’re ready to eat in 5-7 minutes!

Which oats are the healthiest?

Steel-cut oats, rolled oats and instant oats are all highly nutritious and excellent sources of fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. But technically, because steel-cut oats are the purest form of whole oats, they contain the most nutrition because they are the least processed. But don’t disregard the other oats, they’re ALL healthy for you!
