One bowl of oatmeal is a hearty and nutritious meal made from whole-grain oats cooked in water or milk. Originating from traditional Scottish cuisine, oatmeal is now enjoyed worldwide as a versatile breakfast option. Rich in dietary fiber, especially beta-glucan, oatmeal supports digestion and can help lower cholesterol levels. It’s packed with essential nutrients like magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and B vitamins. Naturally low in fat and free of added sugars, oatmeal can be customized with healthy toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, seeds, and spices. However, pre-flavored or instant varieties may contain added sugars and artificial ingredients, making homemade oatmeal a healthier choice. Its slow-release carbohydrates provide sustained energy, making it ideal for starting the day strong. Oatmeal is also gluten-free, though those with sensitivities should ensure it's certified to avoid cross-contamination with gluten-containing grains.
