Product Information

Regular oats are softer and mushier. Regular oats also have the benefit of being slightly cheaper, though the more processed factor may make them just the tiniest bit less nutritious than Irish oats. What makes Irish oats and regular oats different is ultimately the way they are processed. As mentioned earlier, Irish oats go through a steel cut treatment. Samuel Johnson referred, disparagingly, to this in his dictionary definition for oats: "A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people." His biographer, James Boswell, noted that Lord Elibank was said by Sir Walter Scott to have retorted, "Yes, and where else will you see such horses and such men?" [17]

This means that the oat does not go rancid (it only takes around 4 days for enzyme rancidity to occur without stabilisation). This stabilising process means that oats keep well, but also that they cannot be sprouted as the stabilisation disrupts the germ and prevents sprouting. Oat groats are not a raw food.

An oft quoted remark from a 1755 dictionary which invariably gets the response “that’s why England has good horses, and Scotland - good people!". T hen, at long last, I was in a cute cafe where I spotted something called “steel cut oats” at the top of the menu. Feeling somewhat magnanimous (but mostly curious) I decided to give this steel cut oatmeal business a chance. The oat grains are de-husked by impact, and are then heated and cooled to stabilize the groats, the seed inside the husk. The groats may be milled to produce fine, medium, or coarse oatmeal. [1] Staffordshire oatcakes are a local component of the full English breakfast. It is a plate-sized pancake, made with medium oatmeal and wheatmeal (flour), along with yeast. Once the mixture has risen, it is ladled onto a griddle or bakestone and dried through. Staffordshire oatcakes are commonly paired with bacon, sausages, mushrooms, kidney, and baked beans, among others. [23] A related oatcake is sometimes found in neighbouring Derbyshire.Nutritionally speaking, they are pretty much the exact same and share all of the health benefits of oats, so don’t split hairs there. Oats lower bad cholesterol, help stabilize blood sugar levels and on and on. Fiber is necessary for healthy digestion processes. As a result, this means that Irish oats fill you up faster and keep you satiated longer. They’re endlessly customizable, never mushy, and can be made ahead for healthy breakfasts all week.
