Nutritional Information on Steel-Cut Oats Vs. Other Oatmeal

Published Jul,08 2011 | By Daniel J. Schultz

All oatmeal starts as whole groat oats, which are then processed to varying degrees. The process begins with heating and cooling the oat groats to help give them a nutty flavor. After this, oat groats are processed into ground groats, steel-cut oats, old-fashioned rolled oats, quick-cooking oats and instant oatmeal.
