Organic Oat Groats - 100% Whole Grain, Non-GMO Seeds, Kosher, Raw, Non-Irradiated, Vegan, Low Glycemic

People have been cultivating oats for millennia. They say that this amazing grain originates from Europe, but today organic oats are grown all over the world. This whole grain is very nutritious and tasty, which means it's quite popular in the food production industry.


Nutritional Value

Organic oat groats are such a fantastic whole grain because they are highly nutritious. They are particularly valuable for vegans and vegetarians.

Essential minerals you can get from organic oats are:

● Phosphorus
● Iron
● Copper
● Zinc

Organic oat groats are rather filling and high in dietary fiber.

Organic oats definitely make one of the healthiest whole grain choices. As they taste great in savory and sweet dishes, it'll be easy to add them to your diet. If you are on a weight management plan, choosing organic whole oats for one of the daily grain servings will boost your energy. Complex carbs and fiber digest gradually, which means you'll feel full longer.


Ideas for Using

Organic oats are delicious and nutritious and sprouted they become even more so. You can use this whole grain the same way you would regular oats. This means you can try cooking pilaf and other dishes with it.

Sprouted oats cook faster and taste great in salads. You can steam them or even eat them raw, but only if you are sure they are 100% bacteria-free. Always rinse organic sprouted oats well before using them.


How to Cook

The cooking process for organic whole grain oats is very simple. Just wash them quickly, put into a pot using about 3:1 water to oat groats ratio and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let the covered pot simmer for about an hour. Check the groats regularly and take off the heat when they get as soft as you need them.

You can soak whole organic oat groats overnight or for a few hours before cooking.

Organic whole oats are an extremely versatile product. You can use them to make delicious pilaf or as a replacement in many whole grain recipes. It's possible to use them in oatmeal cookies, but you'll need to pre-cook them or at least soak overnight. Otherwise, this grain would be too tough to enjoy in a baked treat.

Use organic oats for gluten-free baking either by grinding your own flour or adding whole groats to the dough. Oat flour, organic or not, is a good alternative to wheat as it's more nutritious. However, it differs in taste, so be sure to try it before substituting white flour in recipes.


Storage Tips

Food to Live Organic Oats don't require special storage conditions. Keep them dry and safe in an airtight container. Store your oats and any other whole grains away from direct sunlight and heat.

Refrigerating and freezing increases product's shelf life. Freezing won't have an adverse effect on your ability to sprout organic oat groats if you ensure they are perfectly dry.
