ORGANIC SUGAR, evaporated cane juice, golden

Beschreibung

Botanical Name: Avena sativa
Origin: Canada
Qualities: oats are about 66% carbohydrates (including 11% dietary fiber and 4% beta-glucans), 7% lipids and 17% protein. Their high fiber content and especially the Beta-glucans (a type of soluble fiber) have shown to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Common use: regular rolled oats have a similar nutritional profile and glycemic index to steel cut oats, but have a more mild flavor and creamier texture. Both the exposure to steam during processing which partially cooks the rolled oats and the increase in surface area, reduce the cooking time to about 10 min on the stove top, or 3-5 min. in the microwave. It makes the classic, warming, and nourishing hot breakfast cereal (aka oatmeal or porridge) enjoyed on winter mornings, but is also often also found in baked goods such as cookies and muffins, or as a base ingredient in granolas and mueslis.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location
