About Steelcut oats

Steel-cut oats, also known as Irish or pinhead oats, are whole oat grains that have been cut into smaller pieces rather than rolled or processed. Originating from traditional Irish cuisine, they retain more of their natural texture and nutty flavor compared to other oat varieties. Packed with nutrients, steel-cut oats are an excellent source of fiber, protein, iron, and B vitamins, making them a heart-healthy choice that supports digestion and sustained energy levels. They have a low glycemic index, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels over time. Unlike instant oats, they undergo minimal processing, preserving their nutritional integrity but requiring longer cooking times. Steel-cut oats are naturally gluten-free, though cross-contamination can occur during production. They are an ideal choice for anyone looking to incorporate complex carbohydrates into their diet while enjoying a versatile and wholesome base for savory or sweet dishes.
