There are many kinds of oat products on the market, such as granular, tabletted and edible directly like snacks. These products are different in shape and nutrition, so you should look carefully when choosing them.
Oat products on the market can generally be divided into oats, raw oats, pressed oats, fruit oats and oat granules. Next, let's see what kind of oatmeal we can buy and which one is more suitable for different candidates.
General principle: identify by composition table. For pure oat products, the simpler the ingredient list, the better. For fruit oats, no sugar or oil is added.
Oats have high nutritional value, and the average protein content is about 16%, which is the highest among common cereals. They also contain lysine, which is relatively lacking in other grains, and are especially rich in B vitamins and dietary fiber.
For people who want to keep fit, eating oats can bring super satiety and control calories to a certain extent, because oats contain a lot of soluble dietary fiber, which can absorb several times its own weight of water, form a high-viscosity gel in the gastrointestinal tract and delay gastric emptying.
It is also a very good choice for people who already have blood sugar and blood lipid problems. The unique β -glucan in oats has been proved to have many health benefits, such as enhancing satiety, slowing down the increase of blood sugar and lowering cholesterol.
