What's better? Steel cut or rolled oats?

It's time to learn a little today!

Steel cut vs rolled oats? Which is better? While high quality oats are a healthy food (as long as you skip out on the added sugar filled mix-ins), the difference is the degree of processing. Rolled oats are steamed, rolled, steamed again and toasted... Steel cut oats are just coarsely chopped which gives them a lower glycemic index (a measurement of how much a person's blood sugar will spike after eating) So next time you're at the store, grab steel cut oats!
