Organic oat kernels, also known as oat groats, can be rolled to produce rolled oats. They are whole and minimally processed oats, thus retaining a higher nutritional value. They are a good source of dietary fibre and a great low GI source of carbohydrate so they keep you fuller for longer. They help in reducing LDL or ‘bad cholesterol’ and may aid in lowering blood pressure. They contain more than 20 unique polyphenols called avenanthramides, which have strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-itching activity. Oat groats need to be soaked and need longer cooking time than rolled oats. They can be eaten as a side dish like pilaf, rolled into oats for porridge or using in bread making.
Organic farming uses the best of traditional agriculture and responsiveness to the land to create biodiversity and environmental balance; a sustainable approach free from artificial intervention.
Grown and milled by innovators who care For over 40 years, Wholegrain Milling Co., lead by the Neale family, have provided Australia’s leading bakers and wholesalers with the very best, locally grown certified organic, sustainable and chemical-free grains and flours. Sourced from Australia’s eastern states, their grains are planted and harvested by farmers who care about the long-term health of the soil. On reaching them, these grains are then ground using their stone or roller mills to create the finest quality flours for bread lovers everywhere.
Sourcing and transportation Sourcing and delivering premium locally grown and chemical-free grains to our mill is Wholegrain Milling's highest priority. Their chemical-free mission is only made possible through their respected network of farmers and the integrity of the trucks that transport the grain. They only accept transport direct from harvest by carriers that follow their stringent practices, giving us a 100% guarantee that the grain that leaves the farm is free from synthetic fertilisers and other harmful chemicals commonly found in unregulated storage and transportation.
