Nutritional Nugget

When using oats, always opt for whole, rolled old fashioned oats rather than the processed quick cook varieties. They are high in protein and provide good levels of a number of nutrients, making them an excellent nutritious and convenient choice.

Oats are an excellent source of soluble fibre, offering cholesterol lowering benefits, as the cholesterol can bind to the fibre so that it is transported and safely eliminated from the body. As such, a recent study concluded that eating a diet high in oat sources of fibre may help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. CLICK HERE to read more.
