About One minute oats

One-minute oats, also known as quick oats, are a type of processed rolled oat that is precooked and pressed thinner than traditional rolled oats for faster cooking. Originating from oat grains cultivated in temperate climates, particularly those of Europe and North America, they have become a staple in many cuisines worldwide. Nutritionally, one-minute oats are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. They also contain dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucans, which support heart health, and deliver essential micronutrients such as manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium. A typical 40-gram serving provides approximately 150 calories, 5 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 4 grams of fiber, making them an excellent addition to a balanced diet.

Health Benefits

• Supports heart health due to the soluble fiber beta-glucan, which can lower LDL cholesterol levels.
• Promotes digestive health with 4 grams of dietary fiber per serving, aiding regular bowel movements.
• Provides long-lasting energy from complex carbohydrates, ideal for maintaining steady blood sugar levels.
• Rich in manganese, offering 63% of the daily recommended intake, which supports bone development and metabolism.
• Good source of magnesium, important for muscle and nerve function as well as maintaining steady heart rhythms.
