Oats

OUT OF STOCK UNTIL OUR 2025 SEASON HARVEST

Oats are an absolute staple in most Canadian diets and are among one of the healthiest grains to consume. Not only are they a great source of antioxidants, but in and of themselves, oats are a gluten-free grain making them a wonderful alternative for those with gluten sensitivities. Oats are also a great source of soluble fibre, aiding significantly in cholesterol levels, weight management, and of course, energy levels! Plus, have you seen self-care products (lotions, etc.) infused with oatmeal? This is because the oat starch applied topically to our skin, helps to create a natural barrier to retain moisture.

OAT GROATS:

Try cooking these groats whole and eating them as rice. They aren't nicknamed 'the rice of the prairies' for nothing! Also, this particular hulless variety stores really well with a natural layer of protection over the seed before breaking it, so storing whole oat groats is the way to go if you have your own mill at home to make your own oat fakes or flour!

ROLLED (FLAKED) OATS:

Believe it or not, our oats are RAW! We flake the oat groat whole without heating or steaming anything throughout the process. As a result, we have the nutritional content of the whole oat groat (similar to why steel cut oats are recommended) but the cooking time and texture of traditional oatmeal that all know and love! We call that a Win!

OAT FLOUR (WHOLE GRAIN):

While we are not certified 'gluten free', we mill our oat flour in a SEPARATE stone mill than we do for the rest of our grains. We hope that by doing this, we are able to keep our oat products as naturally gluten-free as possible, since we also process other products containing gluten in the same facility. Please note this when considering your purchase, especially if you have sensitivities or allergies related to gluten.
