Oats is a versatile ingredient that goes well with any combination. I try to add oats to pretty much everything - dosa, uttapam, idli, chilla or cookies - the options are endless. There is a common belief that oats is a weight loss food and should not be given to babies. That is completely untrue and oats is a wonderful food for babies! Here's a look at some of the nutritional benefits of oats for children:
- Oats contain more soluble fiber than any other grain.
- It is low in saturated fat and very low in cholesterol and sodium.
- It is rich in manganese and is a good source of thiamine, magnesium and phosphorous.
- Oats is the only cereal containing a legume-like protein as their storage protein.
- Oats protein is equivalent in quantity to soy protein, meat, milk and egg protein.
