• With more soluble fiber than any other grain, oats have been shown to have significant heart-healthy, cholesterol-lowering properties. They are also high in protein, a host of essential minerals (especially manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc), and several B Vitamins (particularly thiamin, folate, and riboflavin).
• An especially hardy cereal crop, oats are enclosed in two tough husks that must be removed before the grain can be eaten. To make it easier to remove these two outer hulls, the oats are cleaned and briefly toasted using dry heat. This toasting also stabilizes the grain and prevents it from becoming rancid by deactivating lipase (a bitter-tasting enzyme). What remains is a whole grain groat, containing the fiber-rich bran, nutritious germ, and the endosperm, which comprises the bulk of the grain.
• Because these oats have been heat treated to stabilize them, they will not germinate and therefore cannot be used for sprouting.
