Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or Scottish oats, are whole oat groats chopped into coarse pieces, offering a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Originating from traditional European cuisines, they are minimally processed, retaining more nutrients compared to rolled or instant oats. Packed with essential vitamins like B vitamins and minerals such as iron and magnesium, steel-cut oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, which supports heart health by helping to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood sugar levels. Their high fiber content also promotes digestion and prolonged satiety, making them a popular choice for breakfast and weight management. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, they can be enjoyed by most, though individuals with gluten sensitivities should ensure they're processed in gluten-free facilities. Cooking requires more time due to their dense texture, but steel-cut oats can be flavored with fruits, nuts, or spices for a wholesome, nutritious start to the day.
