Old Fashioned Rolled Oats are a classic! They packed with soluble fiber and are low in fat. Whole grain oats have about 10 grams of fiber. Soluble fiber helps lower LDL cholesterol, helps to regulate blood sugar by slowing down sugar and fat absorption and creates a feeling of fullness. Great stuff!
Oats are a global staple food -- a whole grain complex carb that fills bellies and has excellent nutrition. You can eat them hot or cold. They are great in cookies, granola, pancakes, waffles, smoothies, and even meatballs. And a less well known secret is that you can blend them dry in the blender to make oat flour for baked goods.
In the event we are living off of our food storage, we will need complex carbs to not only fill us up but to give us good energy and nutrition. Grains are truly the staff of life.
