Oatmeal, made from rolled oats, is a whole-grain cereal with roots in ancient cuisines, particularly Scottish and Northern European diets. Rolled oats are steamed and flattened kernels of oats, rich in essential nutrients like fiber, manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and B vitamins. A superb source of soluble fiber, especially beta-glucan, oatmeal supports heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol levels and aids digestion by promoting satiety and stabilizing blood sugar. Naturally gluten-free, though sometimes cross-contaminated, it’s a great option for many dietary lifestyles. While plain oatmeal is nutrient-dense and low in fat, be cautious of instant varieties and sugary toppings, which may add excessive sugars and artificial flavorings. Its nutty flavor and mushy texture make it versatile—loved in breakfasts, baked goods, or savory recipes. For a wholesome start to your day, pair oatmeal with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds.
