Shiloh Farms: Whole Stabilized Oat Groats 12 Oz (6 Pack)

Oat Groats are valued for their hardiness in cold Climates and their mild, pleasantly nutty flavor. Oat Groat grains are enclosed in two tough husks that must be removed. The grains are cleaned and toasted in an oven for 1 minute using dry heat. This stablizes the oats to prevent them from becoming rancid by deactivating an enzyme (lipase) that produces a bitter taste. Toasting makes the 2 outer hulls easier to remove. What remains is a whole grain, containing the fiber-rich bran, nutritious germ, and the bulk of the grain, the endosperm. Since these oats are heat treated to stabilize them so they will not germinate. These Oat Groats contain nearly all the original nutritional value of the Oat grain. They are a sound addition to the modern diet. In 1942 a group of like-minded people gathered on a farm in Western New York and founded the Shiloh Community. Their common goal was to live and work together in health and harmony. To help support themselves and sustain their lifestyle they created a bakery and became known for their hearty, healthy all-natural products. Organic certification had not yet been invented. This was the beginning of SHILOH FARMS.
