this, they are called Oat Groats which oatmeal, rolled-oats, are
processed from.
Oats have a variety of healthful attributes,
including unique antioxidants that are thought to help reduce
cardiovascular disease, they are also a whole grain that offers a good
source of fiber. One serving of oatmeal (1/2 cup dry 1 cup cooked) has
about 4 grams of dietary fiber and 2 grams of soluble fiber. According
to the Mayo Clinic, 10 grams or more of soluble fiber per day helps
decrease your total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. Since almost all
forms of oats contain the bran, endosperm, and germ, they are equally
nutritious.
