Rolled oats: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Rolled oats, often labelled as porridge oats, are a popular breakfast choice. This category includes plain rolled oats, steel-cut oats, and instant oatmeal varieties. Oats are a source of fibre, including beta-glucan, which can contribute to maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels. When choosing rolled oats, check the ingredients list to see if 'oats' or 'wholegrain oats' are listed first, indicating they are the primary ingredient. For flavoured or instant varieties, look at the nutrition label for added sugars and salt. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends limiting free sugars. While salt is naturally present in oats, added salt can increase the overall amount. Consider plain oats as a base and add your own fruit for flavour and sweetness, aligning with advice to reduce intake of free sugars. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
