About Whole grain steel cut oats
Whole-grain steel-cut oats are oat groats cut into coarse pieces rather than rolled or finely milled. The bran, germ and starchy interior remain, and the dry pieces are typically small, firm and pale beige.
They are commonly simmered with liquid into a hearty porridge; the cooked oats retain a chewy texture and mild, slightly nutty flavour. Cooking time and texture vary with cut size and how much liquid is used. This describes plain steel-cut oats, not rolled oats, instant oatmeal or a flavoured cereal mix.
