Oats Picante..(For the love of Oats)

"Good Food many times isn't good in taste". However being an Indian, making food tastier should not be a difficult task.

  

Most of us have got introduced to the cereal 'OATS' due to the fact that it owns innumerable qualities with health benefits though very few love it.  It has good amount of fiber, protein, antioxidants and other nutrients owing to the germ and bran content that are not lost even after hulling. Oats are known to lower Cholesterol levels, enhance immunity, stabilize blood sugar and much more.

 

Certainly.. this cereal deserves to be loved by all !

 

From the day I made 'Oats Picante' I became a regular consumer of Oats. Hope you too start loving Oats through this recipe.
