Organic Baby Oats

Similar to Organic Rolled Oats, Baby Oats have a thinner texture to help toddlers digest easily.

Organic Instant Oats

Precooked and rolled into thinner flakes or steamed longer. This allows quicker absorption of water and cooking process. Great for a quick, fuss-free meal that doesn’t require cooking.

Organic Steel Cut Oats

Unrefined whole grain groats that have been cut as opposed to rolled, ensuring that nutrients are retained. As they are the least processed form of oats, Steel Cut Oats tend to have a chewier texture and a stronger nutty flavour.

Raw Oat Bran

Oat Bran is the outer layer of the oat groat. It has been further milled and can be eaten as a hot cereal or added to baked goods. Contains higher soluble fiber content, as compared to that in oatmeal.
