Key Ingredient

Oats

Wholegrain oats are high in fibre and low in salt, sugar, and saturated fat. They provide B vitamins, as well as the trace mineral manganese. Manganese is needed by the body as it plays a role in making enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that help the body to carry out chemical reactions, and they are essential for breaking down food during digestion. Wholegrain oats are also an excellent source of slow release energy.
