The masters of the mighty oat

Often called rolled oats, flaked oats, quick oats or fast oats, porridge oats are ideally suited to uses including muesli, flapjacks, cakes, biscuits, cereal bars, bread coatings, cheesecake bases and, of course, porridge!

Helping to reduce cholesterol as part of a healthy diet, porridge oats are very versatile and can be milled to many different shapes and sizes.*

With applications including haggis, black pudding, sausages, soups and breads, groats are the wholegrain oat milled for food use before rolling. Groats are also used as an ingredient in high-quality animal and bird feeds.*

Extensively used for products including flapjacks, confectionery, bread, cereal bars, muesli, granola and porridge, jumbo oats are the largest variety of wholegrain flaked oat. Helping to reduce cholesterol as part of a healthy diet, jumbo oats are milled for texture and flavour, making them ideal for products such as biscuits and confectionery that require a firm bite and open consistency.*

So many popular products incorporate oatmeal, from soups, flavoured porridge, oatcake biscuits and oat pancakes to fish and meat coating, cheesecakes, crumble toppings and artisan breads. Normally used for producing savoury products, and milled to various grades depending on the application, oatmeal’s textural qualities are particularly desirable.*

Used in many products including flapjacks, confectionery, bread, cereal bars, muesli, granola and traditional porridges, oat bran is the outer skin of the oat groat, sourced when the outer husk is removed. High in soluble fibre, oat bran can help to reduce cholesterol as part of a healthy diet and is used as an ingredient for textural and fibre enhancement in many baked products. Oat bran is also sold directly to consumers as a topping for home baking or as a healthy eating supplement.*

At the core of many oat milks, other applications of oat flour include biscuits, bread products, cakes, pastries, cereals and snacks. Oat flour is the finest grade of wholegrain oats, with a smooth texture ideal for use as a thickening agent.*
