oat groats
-
Unprocessed oats are called groats.
-
These oats
have the husks removed but have not broken the outer oat kernel that
locks in freshness and nutrients.
-
There are
ready to be ground into flour or flaked into rolled oats.
-
Unprocessed oat groats store for a long time, much like wheat grain.
Once they have been rolled or otherwise processed they must be stored in
a refrigerator and consumed within a relatively short time frame.
-
Rolled oat
groats are simply oat groats that have been rolled. You can purchase a
small machine to do this, or you can buy them ready rolled.
-
If you buy
ready rolled oat grouts make sure they have been freshly rolled, and do
keep them in the refrigerator.
-
Oat groats
are gluten free providing they have not been contaminated with wheat.
