Whole Oat Groats

Whole Oat Groats

EverydayDry

Whole oat groats are the minimally processed, intact kernels of oats, representing the most unrefined form of this nutrient-dense grain. They retain the entire bran, germ, and endosperm, providing a robust source of soluble fiber (particularly beta-glucan) and plant-based protein. With a chewy texture and nutty flavor, groats require extended cooking or pre-soaking compared to rolled or steel-cut oats, but offer superior nutrient retention. While naturally gluten-free, they may carry cross-contamination risks unless certified.
