'Grainful' recently expanded its product line with a tasty new collection of side dishes made from nutritious steel cut oats. While oatmeal is traditionally a hearty breakfast dish, the 'Steel Cut Sides' turn oats into a savory entree.
The new collection features four sides dishes that are each infused with nutritious steel cut oats. The prepackaged sides use oats instead of rice to make delicious meals such as curry, risotto and jambalaya. There is also a cheesy oats variety that combines steel cut oats with cheddar and buttermilk. The side dishes offer a flavorful and nutritious alternative to other types of prepackaged sides.
Not only are the savory oatmeal sides delicious, but they are also gluten-free, making them appropriate for consumers who adhere to specialty diets.
