Botanical Name: Avena sativa
Origin: Canada
Production: the raw oat groat is kilned and separated from its outer hull by centrifugal acceleration and winnowing.
Oats are believed to be first cultivated in the Middle East around 3000 years ago and subsequently spread to more Northern climates, becoming a popular food staple throughout Europe. In the 17th century, British settlers introduced oats to North America where they have been farmed ever since. Today, the oats are primarily bailed and sold as animal feed and secondarily used for culinary (whole groats, steel cut, flaked and milled into flour) as well as medicinal purposes (see oat tops and oat straw).
Qualities: oats are about 66% carbohydrates (including 11% dietary fiber and 4% beta-glucans), 7% lipids and 17% protein. Their high fiber content and especially the Beta-glucans (a type of soluble fiber) have shown to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Oats are also a very good source of the vitamin B complex and minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and zinc. Even though pure oat groats do not contain gluten, most oats are cultivated and processed in such a way that cross-pollination and cross-contamination with wheat are likely to occur.
Common use: since oat groats are the whole kernel with only the inedible hull removed, they have a nuttier flavor and chewier texture than more processed oats. They have a much longer cooking time (about 1-hour stovetop - less if presoaked and are a good choice for overnight slow cooking). They are worth the wait as they make an excellent hot breakfast cereal, pilaf, and stuffing.
Storage: keeps well in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark location

CanadaOat groats
I have been trying to eat more intact grains and was looking around for oat groats. My friend, vegan dietician, Brenda Davis, recommended OM, and I enjoyed the products very much. I have passed on the website to other family and friends.

Cheryl B. CanadaOat Groats in the morning
I have this many mornings for breakfast. It helps level my blood sugar for reasons that aren't really clear to me, I cook it once a week in a slow cooker for 4 or so hours( or 7 hours in the slow cooker on low overnight) so its creamy and delicious and then refrigerate and use it throughout the week. I enjoy it with a cup of blueberries and a couple tablespoons each of chopped nuts and seeds as well as a tablespoon of ground flax. Its a good mix of proteins and fibre.
