High Nutritional Value

Steel cut oats, also known as Irish oatmeal, are whole oat kernels that have been chopped into smaller pieces instead of being rolled into flakes. These oats have the highest nutritional value of all forms of oats and are a flavorful and convenient way to quickly enhance your diet.

Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease

Soluble fiber from foods such as steel cut oats can, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of NOW Real Food® Organic Steel Cut Oats contains 2 grams of the 3 grams of soluble fiber from oats needed daily to have this effect.

Rich in Soluble Fiber

Steel cut oats are rich in soluble fiber, which is good for digestion and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Soluble fiber can also help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer and improve gut health.
