Shop Rite Organic Steel Cut Irish Style Oats
What it is
These are whole oat groats that have been cut into smaller pieces with steel blades. This process creates a hearty texture and a slightly chewier bite compared to rolled oats. The oats are grown organically, meaning they are produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This style of oat is often associated with traditional Irish milling methods, suggesting a focus on natural processing and quality.
How people cook with it

- Hearty breakfast porridge
- Baked oatmeal dishes
- Savory oat bowls

To prepare, combine the steel-cut oats with your preferred liquid, such as water or milk, in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats are tender and have reached your desired consistency. This typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. For a creamier texture, you can cook them longer. You can also prepare a larger batch and reheat portions throughout the week.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike rolled oats, which are steamed and flattened, steel-cut oats retain their original shape and have a denser, more robust texture. They also tend to have a longer cooking time, which contributes to their satisfying chewiness and less mushy outcome.

Home cooks looking for a wholesome and filling breakfast option will appreciate these oats.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining oats in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing moisture or odors. Properly stored, they can last for several months.
