Oat Groats can be cracked, meaning coarsely ground, and cooked into a hearty breakfast. The berry itself is not very flavorful so it can also be cooked and added to soups, stews, salads and more. The oats flavor can be enhanced by spices, seasonings, or combinations of other ingredients. When rolled, they are most commonly found in two categories: Regular Rolled Oats and Quick Oats. Regular rolled oats are often called “old fashioned oats.” Regular oats cook in about five to ten minutes. Quick oats, which are cut into smaller pieces, cook faster - taking about one or two minutes to cook. Regular rolled and quick oats can usually be interchanged in recipes. Both are excellent in cookies, cobbler, breakfast cereals and more.
What Are Oat Groats?

Oats have been cultivated and used for thousands of years in various ways. They are popular because of their high nutrition and versatility. They are a good source of fiber, protein and many valuable nutrients. Oat Groats are whole grain oats that have been minimally processed. Specifically, the oat berry is hulled to remove the inedible outer husk. What remains is the whole grain oat containing most of the original nutrients. Oat groats can be cooked, cracked, rolled or ground into oat flour.

We ordered your groats and wheat in 5 gallon drums several years ago. We are still using them. I eat rolled groats almost every morning. We will need more groats soon. Do you still have these?
