These steel cut oat groats undergo minimal processing compared to rolled outs, so they’re more natural and nutrient packed. Derived from the innermost part of the oat kernel, steel cut oats have a nutty taste and a chewy, hearty texture. They take a little longer to cook, but it’s worth it for the natural goodness. Eat them as oatmeal or use them in soups, stews, breads and baked goods.
