Whole Milling Oats

Non GMO Whole-grain Oat cereal

Able to adapt to a range of environmental conditions, oats are widely grown as a broadacre crop throughout Australia, even in regions with poor soil conditions and lower rainfall averages. An annual grass, oats are sown and harvested for human consumption, for the use of grain as stock feed and also for as fodder and silage. This staple grain is a major cereal crop for human consumption in almost every country around the world and remains popular due to its high fibre, protein and energy content. Our dedicated export team has formed strong working relationships with growers across the country, and particularly in Western Australia where around half of all Australian oats are grown. These partnerships, along with our excellent logistical and transport network results in the highest quality oat product delivered to your food processing or commercial premises no matter where you're located.

Wholegrain oats dehulled and Kiln Dried to create a natural nutty flavor. Product can be further processed to create rolled or flaked oats or used as an ingredient in bakery products, soups or oat milk drinks. Package option: Bulk container or 25kg polypropylene bags.

Rolled Oats / Instant Oats / Quick Oats Description Oats are a whole-grain food, known scientifically as Avena sativa. Oat groats, the most intact and whole form of oats, take a long time to cook. For this reason, most people prefer rolled, crushed or steel-cut oats. Instant (quick) oats are the most highly processed variety. Rolled oats are Produced by de-husking and slightly rolling the oat grain. No further processing and no pre-cooking, so the nutritional properties of the whole grain are retained.

Rolled Oats are traditionally milled oat kernels that have been steamed to stop the enzymes from breaking down the naturally occurring fats and reduce rancidity. They are then rolled into flat flakes under heavy rollers and modified as required to suit the needs of a specialised application.

Oats are the fourth largest grain crop produced in Australia. Oats almost never have their bran and germ removed in processing so most food products containing oats, oat flour or oatmeal as an ingredient contain wholegrain oats. Oats are naturally rich in beta-glucan a soluble fibre found in the bran and endosperm layer of the oat grain. Beta-glucan has been shown to improve blood glucose control after a meal and improves insulin responses as well as decrease cholesterol levels. More recent research indicates oats contain avenanthramides a unique phytochemical that has been shown to help protect blood vessels from the damaging effects of LDL-cholesterol. Nutrition credentials of whole grain oats: High in carbohydrates (mainly starch). The protein content is higher than other cereals, at around 14%. High in soluble dietary fibre, specifically beta-glucan found mainly in the aleurone and subaleurone layers. The fat content is the highest of all grains (7-8%), with fat contained in the endosperm and the germ. The fat is mostly unsaturated. The starchy endosperm of the oat grain contains more fat and protein than other cereal grain. High in potassium and low in sodium. Contains B-group vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), folate and pantothenic acid. Contains vitamin E. Contains iron, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium (depending on the soil content of selenium). Contains small amounts of copper, manganese and calcium. Contains phytochemicals including lignans, phenolic acids (such as ferrulic and caffeic acids), phytic acid, plant sterols and saponins.
