Less processed then common rolled oats, oat groats, the inner most part of the oat kernel, are nutty, chewy and golden in color and resemble small rice pieces.
Oat Groats are the inner most part of the oat kernel. Our Oat Groats are steel cut, meaning they have not been steamed, flattened or toasted. This minimal degree of processing means that they digest more slowly than common rolled oats, giving them a lower glycemic index and making them better suited for those with blood sugar issues.
