Oats : The Super Whole Grain
Oats have more protein, calcium and Vitamin E than other common unfortified whole grains (wheat, brown rice or whole corn grain) on a gram per gram basis. Only oats have a high amount of soluble fibre (beta glucan) compared to whole wheat or rice.
Whole Grains − How Much is Enough?
Consuming a balanced amount of whole grains is an important part of a healthy diet. Whole grains are versatile and can be easily incorporated into a healthy lifestyle. We should aim for at least 3 servings of whole grains daily and 6 servings of any grain products. A serving size of whole grains is a slice of bread, ½ cup of brown rice, 2 serves of wheat chapati or a serve of Quaker Oats.
Whole Grains are Much More than Fibre
Quaker Oats are whole grain products and a powerhouse of nutrition because they contain all three parts of the grain.
Endosperm
Largest part of the kernel | |
Contains most of the carbohydrates and protein |
Bran
Coarse outer layer of the kernel | |
Contains the most fibre |
Germ
The "heart" of the grain and source of new growth | |
Rich in B vitamins, heart healthy oils and mineral |
