Oatmeal is made from hulled oat grains. It is rich in soluble fiber (especially a unique compound called beta glucan), antioxidants, and B vitamins. Oatmeal can be steel-cut, rolled, or quick/instant.
Home-cooked breakfast oatmeals can be prepared quickly. On a busy morning, they are a great substitute instead of sugar-laden cereals or packages of processed, overly sweetened oatmeal.
