Ingredient Insight
-Dirty Dozen
™ Ingredients: apples, raspberries
-Steel-cut oats are the most unprocessed form of oats you can eat.  They are simply oat groats cut into 2-3 'chunks' using a steel blade (hence the name). 

The Scope on Oats
-Oats are intrinsically gluten-free however, due to the proximity of wheat and oat crops and their harvest seasons, they are most-often milled on shared equipment.  If not cleaned properly, oats become cross-contaminated with wheat proteins glutein and gliadin - the proteins collectively referred to as 'gluten'.
-If you have Celiac disease or high-sensitivity gluten intolerance, use  gluten-free oats - oats that have been processed in gluten-free facilities and tested to ensure  <10 parts per million of gluten.
