Nearly every morning, my husband prepares a soaked oatmeal porridge. It's evolved over the years, from an overly sweetened oatmeal to a version that's sweetened only by dried fruit like raisins. It's important to soak oatmeal prior to preparation. Doing so increases the digestibility of oats as it does and it enables the nutrients found in the grain to be better absorbed by your body. Oats, like all grains, contain phytic acid which can inhibit the proper absorption of minerals link zinc and iron.
