Nutrition in Oats
Oats are nutritious and a smart edition to a balanced diet, especially if you are on a higher carb diet typical for vegans.
Oats contain many healthful properties such as:
- fiber
- thiamine
- phosphorus
- magnesium
- zinc
Many of these properties are important for meatless diets because they are more commonly found in animal products and can be lacking in a plant based diet.
Studies reveal that oats possess beneficial health effects against gastrointestinal problems. They also contain health benefits associated with dietary fibres such as β-glucan, functional protein, lipid and starch components and phytochemicals present in the oat grain.
Oats possess high level of antioxidant activity. These antioxidants are concentrated in the outer layer of the kernel in the bran fraction of the oat grain. Choosing oats with the bran in tact can increase their nutritional benefits.
