We eat our oatcakes because they are really
tasty and we assume that they are good for our souls, but did you know that they are also very good for your body too?
We didn’t until we did some digging around and found out the following oaty health facts:
 |
Oats contain many of the elements needed for a healthy balanced diet, protein needed to build muscles and red blood cells, carbohydrate for energy and fibre essential for healthy digestion. |

Oats contain lots of folic acid and foliate both essential for the production and maintenance of new cells, particularly useful when growing up and during pregnancy.
|
|
|
Oats contain plenty of vitamins and minerals including zinc, thiamine, vitamins B1 and E which are all essential for healthy living. |

|
Oats have a low fat content, making them good for your heart. |
So lets hear it for the humble oat! Tasty, good for your heart, good for your body and good for your soul too.
