Product description
Also called old fashioned or whole oats, rolled oats look like flat, irregularly round, slightly textured discs.
When processed, the whole grains of oats are first steamed to make them soft and pliable, then pressed to flatten them.
Whole Grain Rolled Oats are a nutritious and versatile pantry staple made from whole oat groats that have been steamed, rolled, and flattened into thin flakes. These oats retain all parts of the grain, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, making them a rich source of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Their mild, nutty flavor and chewy texture make them perfect for a variety of dishes, from classic oatmeal to baked goods and savory dishes.
