  1. Rich in Nutrients: Organic quick oats flakes are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, copper, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. These nutrients play a crucial role in energy production, bone health, and overall well-being.
  2. High in Fiber: One of the key benefits of organic quick oats flakes is their high dietary fiber content. This includes both soluble and insoluble fiber, which aids in digestion, helps maintain a healthy gut, and can contribute to lowering cholesterol levels. The soluble fiber in oats, beta-glucan, is particularly noted for its heart health benefits.

Quick Rolled, Old Fashioned Rolled, Steel Cut, and Oat Flakes....What's the difference?

Oats, a cornerstone of nutritious breakfasts around the world, come in a variety of forms, each offering a unique texture, cooking time, and nutritional profile. Understanding the differences between old-fashioned rolled oats, quick rolled oats, steel cut oats, and oat flakes can help you choose the right type for your meals and recipes.

Old-fashioned rolled oats, also known as regular rolled oats, are whole oat groats that have been steamed and then rolled into flakes. This process stabilizes the healthy oils in the oats, thus extending their shelf life, and flattens the groats to reduce cooking time. Old-fashioned rolled oats cook in about 5 to 10 minutes and offer a perfect balance between texture and convenience, making them ideal for oatmeal, baking, and granola.

Quick rolled oats are similar to old-fashioned rolled oats, but they are cut into smaller pieces before being rolled. This makes them cook even faster, typically in 1 to 5 minutes. The smaller size means they have a softer texture once cooked, which some people prefer for recipes like smoothies or quick morning porridge. However, because they're more processed, quick oats can have a slightly lower fiber content than their old-fashioned counterparts.

Steel cut oats are made from whole oat groats that have been cut into two or three pieces with a steel blade, hence the name. They have a chewier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to rolled oats. Steel cut oats take the longest to cook, usually around 20 to 30 minutes, but many find the texture and taste to be worth the wait. They're particularly popular in Ireland and Scotland and are often used in traditional porridge recipes.

Oat flakes, while sometimes used interchangeably with rolled oats, can refer to any type of whole oat that has been flattened into a flake. This broad category includes both old-fashioned and quick oats. The term "oat flakes" can also refer to oats that have been lightly toasted to enhance their flavor before being rolled.

Storage

Store in a sealed container in a cool, dark, dry location. If properly stored, oats will generally last 2 years.
