What is the difference between Oat Bran and Whole Grain Oats?
Oats are very popular because of their health benefits and they work so well with your body.
Whole Grain Oats are simply the grain kernel and are harested, cleaned and removed from the husk. These take the longest to cook so some people soak them overnight. A very similar product, called Steel Cut Oats, are the same as Whole Grain Oats, just cut into smaller pieces but a steel saw. Because they are smaller, they cook much quicker.
Oat Bran is the outer most layer of the grain including the husk. Bran is somewhat like grain oats, but grain oats do not include the husk like oat bran. So Oat Bran has more fiber, more nutrients because of it.
How Do I Eat Oat Bran?
To use as a hot cereal, simmer 2/3 cup of oat bran in 2 cups of water for 2 minutes, while stirring. You can also add 1 tsp. of olive or avocado oil for added smoothness.
