All about oats > Health and nutrition
Oats are a complete cereal whose protein content is higher than that of wheat. It's a very good source of natural fiber which provide a quicker "full" feeling, and it contains significant amounts of certain trace elements.
Originally from Persia, oats are among the grains richest in protein (13-14%), fat (about 7%) and stimulant substances (avenose, in particular). Their B vitamin and mineral content is also high.
Oats are fortifying. "Boiled oats produce men of steel," says a German proverb. The Huns ate boiled oats and the Scots drew their legendary physical strength from porridge.
