Is porridge actually very nutritious, I mean how many nutrients can cooked oats have?

I understand it's good for you but I am not sure why. My doctor has recommended it to me as I have a wheat allergy.

Answer 1

Porridge like oatmeal? Oats are very nutritious. They have a lot of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and some protein.

Answer 2

Celiac sprue, wheat allergy, and wheat intolerance make it difficult to eat a balanced diet. We get B vitamins mostly from grains, and wheat is the primary grain of the American diet.

Don't look to corn as a substitute. It's really a vegetable, not a grain.

Maybe you can eat rye or spelt; maybe not. Very few people are allergic to oats, though.

And there must be a lot of nutrition in oats, given that the winner of the Kentucky Derby is almost always a horse....
