Porridge Oats
At a glance
Summary
A single-ingredient whole grain food with no additives, sugar, or seed oils, wholegrain rolled oats are minimally processed and retain their full fiber, vitamin, and mineral content. High beta-glucan fiber supports cholesterol and digestive health, while the macros show a solid protein-to-carb ratio with negligible sugar. This is about as clean and nutritionally dense as a cereal grain product can get.

They are an excellent source of beta-glucan soluble fiber, which supports healthy cholesterol levels and digestive health. Rolling (steaming and flattening) is a gentle mechanical process that does not strip away nutritional value, keeping this ingredient at NOVA group 1.
