Oats Seeds

Oats are a type of cereal grain, and their seeds are commonly known as oat groats. Oats come from the plant species Avena sativa. Oats are a highly nutritious whole grain, rich in dietary fibre, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and minerals (including iron, magnesium, and phosphorus). Oats are considered a whole grain, retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm, which contributes to their nutritional richness. Oats contain beta-glucans, a soluble fibre known for its heart health benefits. Regular consumption may help lower cholesterol levels. The fibre in oats, including both soluble and insoluble fibre, promotes digestive health and helps maintain regular bowel movements.
