Organic rolled oats are super healthy: richer in protein than most other grains and full of fiber and a wealth of vitamins and minerals, including manganese, phosphorus, copper, vitamin B1 (thiamine), iron, selenium, magnesium, and zinc. They’re also the only dietary source of avenanthramides, a type of antioxidant that may help prevent heart disease.
Organic oats are perfect for oatmeal (of course), but they have so many other uses! Try them in Irish soda bread, apple and peach crisps and crumbles, granola, muffins, and cookies—especially quick, easy no-bake cookies. You can also add them to meatballs, meatloaf, or stuffed peppers as an inexpensive and nutritious way to “stretch” the meat a bit.
Organic rolled oats (sometimes called old fashioned oats) generally cook in 10–15 minutes.
