About Steel-cut oats

Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or pinhead oats, are whole oat groats chopped into small, coarse pieces. Unlike rolled oats, they are minimally processed, retaining more texture and a nutty flavor. These oats originate from traditional Irish and Scottish cuisines, where they have long been a hearty staple. Nutritionally, steel-cut oats are rich in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which supports heart health by aiding in cholesterol regulation. They're also an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, and contain essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Steel-cut oats have a lower glycemic index compared to other oat varieties, making them ideal for maintaining stable blood sugar levels. However, their longer cooking time can be a drawback for quick meals. Pair them with fresh fruits or nuts for a nutrient-dense breakfast that promotes overall health and well-being.
