Oats. An old fashioned food that many are first introduced to in childhood. A standard easy and fast breakfast food, these grains have started to gain a reputation for being bland and boring. This is unfortunate because oats are tremendously nutritious and provide high amounts of protein. Best of all oats are very cheap. Oats are low fat, high in fiber, and full of vitamins and minerals such as biotin, folic acid, thiamin, vitamin E, iron, and zinc. These grains are also high in calories and carbohydrates which supply sustained long term daily energy which is great for physically active individuals. With all this in mind oats are definitely worth reconsideration as a regular nutrition source.
