Haferprodukten
Haferprodukten, or oat products, refers to a wide range of food items derived from oats (Avena sativa). Oats are a nutrient-dense cereal grain known for their high fiber content, particularly beta-glucan, which is associated with various health benefits. Common oat products include rolled oats, also known as oatmeal, which are produced by steaming and flattening oat groats. Steel-cut oats are made by chopping whole oat groats into smaller pieces. Oat flour is ground from dried oats and is used in baking and as a thickening agent. Oat milk is a dairy-free beverage made from soaking oats in water and straining the liquid. Granola, a popular breakfast cereal, often contains oats combined with sweeteners, nuts, and dried fruit. Porridge is a dish made by boiling oats in water or milk, often served warm. Oat bran, the outer layer of the oat groat, is a rich source of fiber and is sometimes added to other foods. These products are versatile and can be incorporated into both sweet and savory dishes. They are widely consumed globally, especially as a breakfast staple and in various baked goods. Their nutritional profile makes them a popular choice for health-conscious individuals.
