Oats 2 articles

Oats are Avena sativa cereal grains eaten in several whole-grain forms, from intact groats to steel-cut pieces, rolled flakes, and quicker-cooking oats. They become porridge and overnight oats, are baked into breads and cookies, and appear in granola or as oat flour. Oats are especially associated with beta-glucan soluble fiber, while bran, germ, and endosperm remain relevant when distinguishing whole-grain products from more heavily processed oat ingredients.
