This is the first and most important clue that tells us about the benefits that oats bring to the human body. Oats are the cereal with the richest protein content (12.6-14.9%) and essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid. The soluble fiber content is important because it helps to normalize body weight through the ability to create a feeling of satiety and decrease appetite.
