In continuing with the grains, Oats are the next we are going to discuss. Oats are gaining notice in the healthy food movement because they are high in nutrients and are easy to store. They come as whole grains called groats or milled as rolled oats. Groats are said to be quite tasty, although they require a long cooking time. Sometimes, groats are loosely cracked and used in breakfast cereal. Rolled oats play a starring role on the table as oatmeal, although they are also used to add texture to bread, cookies, and other baked goods. Year Supply of Grains

Also oatmeal is known to be a great food for diabetics as it helps to regulate blood sugars because of its macronutrient, vitamin and mineral makeup and can help lower cholesterol also.
