Oats are 100% whole grain, which means they offer all the simple, wholesome nutrition of the whole oat groat—including the germ, the bran and the endosperm—with nothing added and nothing removed.
While all of our oats begin as whole grain kernels known as groats, the end result can look quite different. We take these groats and create varieties for every palate and recipe, while retaining all the fiber and nutrition of the whole grain. Many of our products are also available in organic and gluten free options.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I just don’t like oatmeal”? Well, not all oats are created equal! Depending on the type of oat—instant, rolled, steel cut, extra thick—and the way they’re cooked, oatmeal can range from smooth and creamy to nutty and chewy. There’s an option for everyone!
Or maybe you think of oatmeal as just a sweet and hot cereal for breakfast? While this is a popular way to enjoy a bowl of oats, oatmeal can be made with an entire pantry of spices, seasonings and toppings to create a tasty meal to be enjoyed by anyone. Sweet, savory, spicy, you name it!
