All About Oats • Oats have a long history of medicinal use that dates back to antiquity. This superfood is one of the healthiest grains and most nutrient-dense foods you can eat. Oats are a great source of vitamins, minerals, fibre and antioxidants. Compared to other grains, oat proteins are superior in quality and quantity based on the makeup of essential amino acids. Oats are processed in many different ways. The less refined varieties, such as groats or steel-cut oats, take longer to digest, have a lower glycemic index and tend to contain more health-related benefits than other, more processed, oats.
