ORGANIC OAT GROATS FOR MILLING OR MAKING OAT MILK

Oat Groats are whole oats with the hard outer hull removed. This versatile healthy grain can be milled to make oat flour or used to make fresh oat milk!

Oats are a remarkably healthy food with a high soluble and insoluble fibre content. They are excellent for lowering cholesterol and reducing the risk of heart disease. Oats contain more than 4 times the fatty acids of wheat and one third of those fats are the polyunsaturated type required for good health. Oats are also rich in the B vitamins, contain the anti-oxidant vitamin E and are also rich in minerals including potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper and manganese.

Oats are a cleansing grain that can cleanse your intestinal tract and your blood. Oats contain an excellent balance of amino acids. The proteins in oats are almost in perfect proportion to the body's needs. Unlike many other grains, oats are high in lysine. They contain high levels of complex carbohydrates, which have been linked to reducing the risk of cancer and the better control of diabetes.

You can run oat groats through your grain mill to make oat flour. Oat flour makes a rich thickener for soups, gravies and stews. Adding 25% oat flour to wheat flour in bread mixes will prevent the bread going stale because of the anti-oxidant vitamin E in the oats. Oat flour can also be added to ice cream and other dairy products as a natural preservative.

OAT MILK

Oat milk is a tasty and nutritious alternative to dairy milk. In fact, Western herbalists regard oats as a tonic for the nervous system. Oat milk is high in fibre, is cholesterol and lactose free, and contains vitamin E, folic acid, and other trace elements and minerals. Oats are also rich in phytochemicals, naturally occurring chemicals in plants that help fight diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and stroke. 

Oat milk is quite light and has a mild, slightly sweet taste, so it substitutes well for low fat or skim milk. It can also be used in the same way as soyamilk or rice milk. Oat milk is a wonderful choice for consumers looking for a milk that is fat and lactose free.

You can make Fresh Dairy-Free Oat Milk with oat groats and your SoyQuick Soyamilk Maker. By making your own fresh oat milk with the SoyQuick machine, you can save hundreds of pounds per year and bring new life to your favourite recipes.

How to Make Oat Milk

Oat milk is generally made from presoaked oat groats. Use approximately ¾ cup of dry oat groats and soak them for 6-8 hours. Drain and rinse the groats well before placing them in the SoyQuick filter cup. The filter cup should be approximately 2/3 full. Then just follow the same instructions for making soya milk. You can also combine oats with other grains, beans or seeds such as soya, barley, rice, and almonds to make a tasty mixed milk.
