Oats

Oats almost never have their bran and germ removed in processing so most food products containing oats , oat flour or oatmeal as an ingredient contain wholegrain oats. Oats are naturally rich in beta-glucan a soluble fibre found in the bran and endosperm layer of the oat grain. Beta-glucan has been shown to improve blood glucose control after a meal and improves insulin responses as well as decrease cholesterol levels. More recent research indicates oats contain avenanthramides a unique phytochemical that has been shown to help protect blood vessels from the damaging effects of LDL-cholestero protein- 12% test weight- 540 g/l moisture- 14% max impurity- 1% grain admixture- 3%
