Steel Cut Oats

[Tom Treutlein]

What are steal cut oats? Nutritional value? Where do I get them or are they a receipe on here?

Those canisters with the quaker on them are steel cut oats. The whole 'steel' thing is sort of a macho adjective, they may as well have been cut by a plastic spoon.

recipe? Most folks drop an equal amount of water in and consume them after microwaving.

I prefer eating them raw with a side of water to wash down each mouthful.

raw is harsh........soak them overnight and cook them.....they are one of the top carbs and usually found in the canisters/bins in natural grocery stores......next to the whole grains, etc....

Oh, in natural stores? Not like Quaker brand oatmeal, right? It's something other?

steel cut oats are called scottish oats
comes in a can under the name macCann's
bob's red mill has em too in a plastic pouch

steel cut look like crushed barley
not flat like oatmeal
they take about 15 minutes to cook but the fiber benefits are far greater than regular oatmeal

I buy MacCanns at Trader Joes, pretty inexpensive. They look nothing like the quaker oats, the are cut up grains and not flat/powdery. I usually pour a couple of cups into some topperware with water and let them soak. I consume a 1/4 cup at a time with some prot. and flax and all I have to do is pour hot water and presto, no real cooking time (my work has hot water dispenser on the water cooler).

Does steel cut have more fiber than regular oats? It is my "assumption" (since I don't eat regular oats) that they do, but not sure.

Steel cut
4g fiber in a 1/4 cup serving

it is it alittle more in fiber since quick oats and old fashioned oats are processed
the thing about steel cut or scottish oats is the GI is lower
