But are aots just another trend? well…

Oats are a type of grain from the Poaceae grass family of plants. This grain specifically is the edible seeds of oat grass which in turn is now a daily staple in most people breakfast bowls. The “Food and Drug Administration allows the use of a health claim on food labels associating a reduced risk of coronary heart disease with the consumption of beta-glucan soluble fiber from whole grain oats. “[1]

Not only do oats contain many health benefits and sources of nutrients like:

Fiber (insoluble and soluble)

• Phosphorus

• Thiamine

• Magnesium

• Zinc 

Oats also are just a great staple for any dish. They dont even have to be breakfast or a sweet meal. Savoury oats is such a satiating and delicious meal. So no, oats art just another trend, and in my opinion something you should give a go.
