would steel cut oats retain nutrition over whole rolled

[nathanielfirst]

... they don't steam steel cut oats, right? But whole rolled would mean steaming occurs before rolling, so some vitamins are lost...

thanks

I don't believe any are sold cooked. They are just cut or rolled oats. Nutrients are lost over time. So how old they are is more important.

... wikipedia is saying the rolled are usualy steamed first to help them roll / flatten, but says nothing about steel cut being cooked or steamed one way or the other.... wikipedia ain't always accurate tho. rolling doesn't have to involve steaming, it just sometimes does... a feed store maybe would have rolled that wasn't steamed, but i go to kroger... thanks for the time tip that is probably important
