Oatmeal, a classic breakfast staple, is made from oats that have been steamed and flattened or cut into smaller pieces. Originating from various cuisines, oatmeal has roots in Scottish traditions and has become popular worldwide due to its versatility. Packed with essential nutrients, oatmeal is an excellent source of fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which supports heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels. It provides sustained energy thanks to its complex carbohydrates and is rich in vitamins, minerals like manganese and phosphorus, and antioxidants. Its minimally processed nature makes it a wholesome choice. However, the health benefits can be diminished if prepared with excessive sugar or calorie-rich toppings. Commonly enjoyed sweet or savory, oatmeal adapts well to countless recipes, making it a nutritious and satisfying meal option for all times of the day.
