Discover the joy of oats
FEEL FREE TO EAT WELL
Oats have balanced nutritional content. Oats are high in fibre, good source of protein and contain high quality carbohydrates and fatty acids. Oats contain also plenty of vitamins and minerals making oats valuable addition to anyone’s diet.
Oats contain a special soluble fibre component –beta glucan.
This oat fibre is the primary reason for the multitude of health benefits oats provide. Beta-glucan in oats help to lower cholesterol, maintain a normal healthy digestive system and balance blood sugar level slowly releasing energy to keep you going*. These are EU approved health claims that can be used in marketing your product when the amount of beta-glucan is high enough.
WE HAVE GLUTEN-FREE OATS – BIG TIME
Oats are free from allergens and naturally gluten-free. Oats are however easily cross-contaminated by other cereals so this has to prevented by special practises along the whole supply chain.
Oats bring real nutritional value, variety and taste to gluten-free diets. A gluten-free diet can lack good quality carbohydrates, fibre and micronutrients. The cereal highest in fibre and suitable for coeliacs is oats.
FOODS BEYOND BREAKFAST CEREALS
Oats have thousand-year long traditions. Oats compare favourably not only to other grains, but also to other crops and food ingredients. There are no negative perceptions related to oats and their health and sustainability credentials are extremely positive.
Oats are incredibly versitile. Oats fit to all kinds of foods and brands to meet modern consumer needs. Their mild and pleasant taste is a hit with almost all consumers and is perfect for snacking or any meal of the day.
*Oat beta-glucan has been shown to lower/reduce blood cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. Consumption of beta-glucans from oats as part of a meal contributes to the reduction of the blood glucose rise after that meal. Oat grain fibre contributes to an increase in faecal bulk.
