Plain instant oats are a type of processed oat that reduces cooking time, making them ideal for quick and healthy recipes. They are made from whole oat grains that have been steamed, rolled, and then pre-cooked, allowing them to be prepared in just a few minutes by simply adding hot water or milk.
The origin of oats dates back to temperate regions, being a traditional cereal in Europe and North America, used since ancient times for its multiple nutritional benefits and versatility in the kitchen.
These oats are an excellent source of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucans, which help reduce cholesterol and promote digestive health. Additionally, they provide protein, complex carbohydrates, B vitamins, and minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc. Their soft and neutral texture makes them a perfect ingredient for preparing breakfasts, smoothies, cookies, breads, and other sweet or savory dishes without altering the final flavor.
In various Hispanic American countries, plain instant oats are also known as quick oats, pre-cooked oats, or simply instant oats. These terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same product that facilitates and speeds up the preparation of various recipes.
