What Are Steel Cut Oats?

Steel cut oats are often likened to rolled oats, but their similarities end there. Traditional rolled oats are steamed, rolled out, steamed again, and then toasted. The intricate procedure makes rolled oats simpler to digest, allowing your body to break them down faster but leaving you hungrier faster.

Steel cut oats have their hulls removed to reveal the inner groat. Each groat is sliced into smaller pieces, leaving the oats unprocessed. Steel cut oats take longer to digest, so you feel full longer. Because steel cut oats take longer to convert to sugar than rolled oats, they have a lower glycemic index.
