Oats are one of the healthiest grains. They are known for their high content of β-Glucan, a soluble fiber that helps in reducing LDL cholesterol in the blood. Being high in fiber, it has a low glycemic index and may help in managing the blood sugar levels. The grain is gluten-free and therefore can be well suited for people who cannot tolerate gluten. Oats are most commonly consumed in the form of porridge with milk, but this savory recipe is as easy and can be consumed by those who are lactose intolerant as well.
