Grains

Nutrition Facts Oats

Oats are a grain food whose nutrient profile depends on whether the kernel is whole, pearled, refined, or milled. They provide protein, dietary fiber, potassium, and magnesium. Choose a dry, intact package without insects or moisture damage and store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends the quality of whole-grain and high-fat products.

Interesting fact

Oats and barley contain a viscosity-forming fiber

Their beta-glucan can absorb water and increase viscosity during digestion. Amount and molecular structure vary by cultivar and processing, so the physiological effect belongs to a sufficient dose—not automatically to every food that contains a trace amount.
