Oats are among the healthiest of cereals. This is because they are high in fibre, containing a good balance of soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre is found in all fruit and vegetables but is particularly rich in oats. There is scientific research which states that soluble fibre from oats, when taken as part of low fat diet can lower cholesterol. Oats are naturally low in sugar, salt and saturated fats
