Canadian oats are renowned for their health benefits and quality. 

They are high in fibre and contain both insoluble and soluble fibres (beta-glucan). 

Studies suggest consuming foods containing beta-glucan can help lower cholesterol, improve heart health, 

manage blood sugar levels, lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, improve satiety, and stimulate 

the immune system.

Oats are also rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including calcium, potassium, magnesium, and a range
of B vitamins. Oats can be processed into a variety of different food products. 

The first step in oat processing involves dehulling which involves removing the tough outer layer (hull) surrounding 

the oat groat (inside portion of the kernel). 

The groat is then kilned (steam heat treatment) and processed into different products like steel cut oats,
oat flakes, and oat flour.

Steel cut oats are made by cutting the groat into smaller pieces. Steel cuts retain much of their shape making them
ideal for adding texture and chewiness in cereals, baking, snacks and savoury dishes.
