Wholegrain oats means that you keep the whole grain. Therefore it retains the bran, endosperm, and germ, preserving their qualities. That makes wholegrain oats richer in nutrients such as protein, vitamin B, fibre, vitamins, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants. They are a more wholesome and natural choice.
Rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, are whole oat groats that have been steamed and then flattened with large rollers to create flattened flakes. This process makes them easier and quicker to cook than whole oats. Rolled oats retain most of their natural nutritional value and are a popular choice for making porridge, granola, and baked goods. They can be used in a variety of dishes and provide a hearty, nutritious base for breakfast cereals and recipes.
Oats are naturally gluten-free. But due to contact with other cereals (proximity to fields, same harvesting machines, storage in the same warehouses, etc.), a bag of oats often contains a few grains of wheat, barley and rye. The amount of gluten is probably low, but we advise people with Coeliac Disease to choose our oatmeal certified gluten free.
