Date: December 04, 2007 02:27AM Hi Everyone,
First of all, thanks to all of you who contribute here. I really enjoy hearing what you have to say. Question about oats: I used to make a delicious banana/oat smoothie, until I found out that even raw oats aren't really raw (unless you order special ones). However, in my health food store I saw "oat groats" today. Are these raw and could they be used in my smoothie? I do mainly fruits, veggies, and nuts (no sprouted grains) but I would like incorporate raw oats once in a while. Re: oat groats?

Use the search function to look for oat groats. There are plenty of old posts that refer to them. When I looked up raw oat groats, there were 65 matches. It seems to me (though I haven't tried it) that mixing oat groats and fruit in a smoothie might be hard to digest. Re: oat groats?

Date: December 06, 2007 03:00AM The groats are raw, as far as I know... soak them and then you can blend them... i just tried the raw oatmeal recipe this week... that is what i did, soaked and then blended...it was delicious... i thought it really helped move things in my digestive system... I just heard on Blind Guru, that they have one of the highest sources of fiber...
... let us know... Re: oat groats?

Date: December 06, 2007 08:34PM also search the sproutpeople website for great info on oats. I've bought oat groats before and they wouldn't sprout. Someone on sproutpeople said that the only oats that will sprout are the hull-less ones...oat groats will soak and swell, but not sprout because of how they are processed. Wish i could remember more... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
