Nice! 100% whole grain
Great job! Whole grains are a great source of fiber and other nutrients. Fiber is one of the most important things we need in our diet. Here is what fiber does for you: - Fiber helps your body process food from one end to the other. - Fiber plays an important role in mediating the blood sugar spikes from carbohydrate-laden food. Whole grains are not the only way to get fiber, BUT by choosing them instead of processed grains you've made a smart choice.

More than 16% daily fiber!
Fiber is an extremely important part of your daily diet. Its best known benefit is its ability to help keep our bowels moving. Eating enough fiber will help prevent constipation. The added benefit is that it also plays a role in protecting against diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer. If that isn’t enough reason to get a daily dose of fiber, it also helps with weight management by helping to keep you fuller longer. The best sources of fiber are whole foods, not processed foods to which fiber has been added.

Try plain oats - simply good for you!
Traditional rolled oats are possibly one of the best breakfast foods out there. Not only are they inexpensive and easy to prepare, they offer a variety of nutritional benefits. They are an excellent source of soluble and insoluble fiber. This lowers cholesterol levels, lowers the risk of certain cancers, helps keep you fuller longer by keeping your blood sugars even and reduces the risk of heart disease. Oats are also low in sodium and high in iron, protein, zinc, vitamin E and magnesium. Try cooking up oats with water or milk, fresh fruit, cinnamon and honey for a winter warmer breakfast!

How we grade of plain oats
If oats are all the same (one ingredient), then why do they get different grades? First, not all oats are the same. Various cuts of oats remove/retain different amounts of fiber and sugar. The slight variations between these oats can make the difference between a B and an A grade. Even between two of the "same" products, the nutrition may vary due to processing differences. For example, one steel cut oats with 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of sugar will rate better than steel oats with 4 grams of fiber and 1 gram of sugar. Generally speaking, the oats with the best nutrition are whole oats. Next in line are steel cut oats, followed by rolled oats, then quick oats, and finally instant oats. Bottom line: Any plain oatmeal is a good choice. If you don't have the time to make whole oats or steel cut oats, regular oats are fine. Try adding a sprinkle of ground flax seeds or fresh cut fruit to offset the fiber lost in processing.
