Steel cut oats are a type of whole grain oat that has been cut into small pieces. They are also known as Irish oats or pinhead oats. Steel cut oats have a chewy texture and nutty flavor, and they take longer to cook than other forms of oats, such as rolled or quick oats. They are less processed than other types of oats and therefore retain more of their natural nutrients, including fiber, protein, and vitamins. Steel cut oats are a popular ingredient in breakfast porridges, oatmeal, and granola.
