While trying to find raw oat grains, some information was found about the various oats sold for human consumption.There is only one type oat available in raw form and this is a relatively recently developed grain.I bought some today from a bulk barn store, for use in making tortillas and gruel or porridge. A new type of oat kernel or groat. Cavena Nuda is a brand new form of oats that’s hull-less, gluten free, high in protein & iron & cooks up just like brown rice. Now you can get all the health benefits of oats in a grain that you can use as you would rice in recipes. It was developed by Agriculture Canada, and for now it’s only available in Canada. It was developed without a hull (NAKED), so the oats don’t have to be shipped off somewhere to remove the hull–a necessary process to prevent spoilage & rancidity. It is also 25% higher in protein than regular oats-twice the iron, & 20% more fiber. This is the treatment for typical oats.Hulls are removed from oats, leaving an oat groat. Oat groats are high in fat, so once the hull is removed, an oat groat will go rancid within a few days. Therefore, all oat groats for human consumption are hulled, then “stabilized” (heated to 200 degrees for an hour or more to stabilize enzyme action). As a result oat groats won’t sprout and aren’t raw. Steel cut oats and Scottish oats are cut after the heating process. To produce rolled oats, stabilized oats are steamed then rolled. A number of oat producers were contacted in Canada and the US, and they confirmed the above. Groats (or in some cases, “berries”), are the hulled kernels of various cereal grains such as oat, wheat, and rye. Groats are whole grains that include the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion of the grain as well as the endosperm. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?YMUWK More Internet information Posted Image

I had to go to a large bulk barn to find the groats. Name was Cavena Nuda and they were not with the normal oat barrels. Also the groats are called "Rice of the Prairies". I haven't done anything with the pound and one half that I bought yet. Only found out about them this morning, while trying to sort out the various oats sold.

It is worth the 45 minute cook time for our oatmeal. And with a double boiler almost no stirring is required. Never saw the whole oat groats but doubt that I would use them for a rice substitute. Rice is good enough. laugh123 Edited by Trotsky, Dec 16 2014, 02:59 AM.

Vary the ingredients to suit availability. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?MOLMQ 12 December 2014 Porridge Gruel A gruel/porridge was made from, hard wheat, nixtamalized Indian corn,groats,and sorghum.Each ingredient was blended fine with water and all was mixed in a cooking pot. The pot was placed in a double boiler to inhibit burning and cooked for two hours.The porridge was allowed to cool then placed in plastic containers and frozen until required. Each container has about four breakfasts. Compare this with supermarket packaged cereals.

Mind you, it is probably pre-cooked, but you still get the nutty texture and flavor. As for rice, now you have to be careful not to use too much as most of it contains some arsenic! Rice from Texas is bad, rice from California, better.

Big City Boy Posts: 38,319 Group: Member Member #79 Joined: September 8, 2005	I have a strong aversion to grains without texture. For that reason I cannot abide finely ground ANYTHING like Farina, quick oats, cornmeal...yechhh. Even wet corn flakes is tough for me. Actually any corn product is off my list. Even for tortillas I want wheat. Mashed vegetables are fine, but not any gruel. I think gruel tastes like it sounds. I have always put them under the pejorative term: MUSH (pronounces MOOSH.) I can get uncooked steel cut oats for $1.29 a pound loose from a bulk bin. (At Fairway no less, the only bargain in the place.) We have it weekly. Strangely, those tins from Ireland and Scotland go for $6 and UP and UP but that was our introduction to them. At those prices we would not be aficionados except for a rare treat.
