Bobs Red Mill Steel Cut Oats, 623 g

Description

Steel-cut oats (pinhead oatmeal) are oat groats that have been chopped into smaller pieces before any steaming and thus retain bits of the bran layer. Since the bran layer, though nutritious, makes the grains tough to chew and contains an enzyme that can cause the oats to go rancid, raw oat groats are often further steam-treated to soften them for quicker cooking time (modern "quick oats") and to denature the enzymes for longer shelf life. Also known as Irish oats or pinhead oats, steel cut oats have a firmer bite than traditional rolled oats, and can also be used in savoury dishes like risotto, pilaf, dumplings, arancini and more.
