Rolled oats are steamed and rolled into flakes
Steel-cut oats are whole grain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. They are golden in colour and resemble small rice pieces.
Steel-cut oats are also known as coarse-cut oats, pinhead oats, Scotch oats, or Irish oats.
In comparison, the other main variety, rolled oats, are flake oats that have been steamed, rolled, re-steamed and toasted.
Because the steel-cut oats are more "natural" with less pre-processing, they may be more nutritious than the more popular rolled oats. The texture of steel-cut oats is nuttier, more flavorful, and retains a chewier texture than rolled oats. Like most whole grains, steel-cut oats take much longer to cook than pre-processed oats.
Many people feel that steel-cut oats provide better flavour than rolled oats due to the lack of preprocessing. Usually steel-cut oats are not preprocessed then dried. They are often packaged in a vacuum tight container (like a coffee can) to preserve freshness.

Yes to the second question. No to the first unless you are dieting down.Originally Posted by supersaiyan415
Really, if rolled oats are the biggest luxury item in your diet I'd say you are doing just fine.
