Oats are a very nutritious and versatile grain and contain more soluble fibre than any other grain, resulting in slower digestion and an extended sensation of fullness. One of the soluble fibres in oats, beta-glucans, has proven to help lower cholesterol resulting in oat bran and products containing oat fibre being marketed as preventatives against heart disease. Oats are also a good source of iron, folate, magnesium and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5).
