Nutrition: Steel-Cut Oats
Steel-cut oats are oat groats that are not steamed and rolled like the familiar and traditional packaged cooking oats in America. Steel-cut oats are also called Scotch oats or Irish oatmeal. Are oats gluten-free? Non-contaminated, pure oats are gluten-free. However, the issue with oats in gluten-free diets is contamination. Most commercial oats are processed in facilities that also process gluten (wheat, barley, and rye). If you are following a gluten-free diet, be sure to buy oats that say “gluten free” on the package.
