ORGANIC OAT TOPS, whole

Organic whole oat tops are traditionally harvested when the seed is at its beneficial “milky” stage. This stage occurs after the oat begins flowering and before the seed hardens into a groat, meaning the oat kernel releases a white, milky sap when squeezed. These whole oat tops are dried and threshed from the entire edible grass plant, which has been cultivated since prehistoric times.

The oat tops are a valued botanical component known for their complex nutritional profile. Oatstraw contains protein (gluten), saponins, flavonoids, and various vitamins, including B1, B2, D, and E. It is also a source of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, iron, and silicon. These milky oats are highly versatile for preparations, including use in tea blends, infusions, tinctures, or even in a bath. These nutritive, whole-form botanical tops make a beautiful and wholesome addition to any herbal collection.
