About this product

Steel Cut Oats (also known as Irish Oats) are whole grain oat groats that have been cut into smaller pieces rather than being rolled to create rolled oats. Commonly used as a hearty breakfast cereal, steel cut oats have the highest nutritional value of all forms of oats and are a tasty and convenient way to quickly improve one's diet. Soluble fiber from foods such as steel cut oats, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. A serving of NOW Real Food Organic Steel Cut Oats supplies 2 grams of the 3 grams of soluble fiber from oats necessary per day to have this effect.
