About Oatmeal with raspberries

Oatmeal with raspberries is a simple and nourishing breakfast dish that combines whole grain oats with fresh or frozen raspberries. As a staple in many cuisines, particularly Western and health-conscious diets, oatmeal is celebrated for its heart-healthy properties. It is an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, soluble fiber (notably beta-glucan), and protein, while raspberries add a burst of flavor and vital nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, and dietary fiber. This dish is low in calories, naturally gluten-free (if certified oats are used), and provides sustained energy, making it a popular choice for a nutritious start to the day.

Health Benefits

• Supports heart health due to the beta-glucan in oats, which helps lower LDL cholesterol.
• Boosts immunity and skin health with raspberries' high vitamin C content (32% of daily value per 123g).
• Aids digestion with high dietary fiber content from both oats and raspberries (approximately 8g combined per serving).

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (if oats are not certified gluten-free)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless certified gluten-free oats are used), low-carb diets

Selection and Storage

Store oats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, and keep raspberries refrigerated to maintain freshness for up to 2-3 days.
