Introducing our steel cut oats

In Australia, oats are now grown in SW Western Australia and the hinterland from Adelaide to Sydney having been brought in by settlers from Scotland, Ireland and Scandinavia. They are a cold weather crop often used as a sweet breakfast meal hot or cold, topped with fruit, jams or honey to give a comforting start to the day.

Steel-cut oats are not pre-steamed. The whole grain is simply cut into 2-3 pieces with a sharp metal blade and is known as Irish oatmeal. Water can penetrate more easily in the cooking, so they cook faster than whole oat groats. Soaking them overnight speeds up cooking, but still gives you oats with a low GI of 42 as opposed to 66 for instant oatmeal. This gives sustained energy release throughout the day, soluble beta-glucan which helps lower LDL cholesterol, stabilized blood sugar and better digestive health.

Global diets are changing and there is an increased demand for healthy plant-based foods such as oats in SE Asia, India and China.
