About Steel cut oats

Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or pinhead oats, are whole oat groats that have been chopped into small pieces rather than rolled or processed. Originating from traditional Irish cuisine, these oats retain their hearty texture and nutty flavor compared to other forms of oatmeal. Rich in essential nutrients, steel-cut oats are a great source of fiber, protein, and essential minerals like iron and magnesium. They have a low glycemic index, meaning they release energy slowly, making them an excellent choice for sustaining energy and supporting blood sugar stability. Additionally, their high fiber content promotes digestive health and helps with cholesterol management. While they are minimally processed, they may take longer to cook than rolled or instant oats. Steel-cut oats can be a versatile base for both savory and sweet dishes, aligning well with whole-food diets and healthy eating habits.
