Oats Biscuits: Tasty Yet Healthy

What is the most prominent issue of our modern lifestyle when the pressures of personal and corporate lives are so high? It is not paying much attention to our diet. Each one of us is so hassled that no one has the time to cook, and the result is unhealthy eating.

But this mindless unhealthy snacking can easily be contained by including food items such as Oats in our diet regime that are healthy and provide enough nutrition to our body. Though we all know the health benefits of Oats, how many of us regularly have it. Not many. Some people do not like its bland taste and sticky texture, while some don’t have enough time to try out its different recipes. For this reason, consumption of Oats becomes difficult on a daily basis. Does that mean we should let go of this healthy food alternative? No.

The simplest, most convenient and tasty way to consume Oats is in the form of cookies. It saves you from all the hassles of cooking it and you don’t even have to bother about its taste or sticky texture.

Why include Oats biscuits in your daily diet regime?

  1. Low Glycemic Index (GI): Oats are fibrous and split in glucose slowly and thus are ranked low on Gl. It doesn’t affect the sugar level instantly and rather helps manage it.

  2. High fiber content: Compared to other food products, Oats has high fiber content. The digestive property of Oats is thus high.

  3. Source of essential nutrients and anti-oxidant: Oats have all the essential nutrients like manganese, selenium, phosphorus, fiber, magnesium, and zinc. It also has anti-oxidant property and so saves the body from damage.

While Oats biscuits are healthy, you still have to cautiously choose one or else you will fall under the trap of something which is not truly healthy.

What do you have to actually keep an eye on while purchasing an Oats cookie?

  1. What is the amount of Oats? The amount of Oats is very important otherwise you will end up eating Marie biscuits. The content of Oats has to be higher than the binding material, which is whole wheat flour. If the amount of Oats is less, then you will not benefit from all its healthy properties and it will just be a sham in the name of an Oats biscuit. If the quantity of Oats is just 1-10%, then it is more of a Marie biscuit with lot of wheat content in it but no oats.
  2. Missing out on ingredients? It is a ‘never miss’ that mandate and this check is a must. Inspect if the Oats biscuit is made up of Maida/Refined Flour or Whole Wheat Flour. Avoid if the ingredients mention Maida/Refined Flour.
