color-sorting removes undetected impurities. Roasting enhances that wholesome
robust flavor you expect. Finally, the oats are packaged in our 100% gluten
free facility and tested for gluten again to ensure their purity.
The modern oat draws its ancestry from the wild red oat, a plant
originating in Asia. Oats have been cultivated for two thousand years in
various regions throughout the world. Before being consumed as a food, oats
were used for medicinal purposes, a use for which they are still honored. The
growing of oats in Europe was widespread, and oats constituted an important
commercial crop since they were a dietary staple for the people of many
countries including Scotland, Great Britain, Germany and the Scandinavian
countries. In the early 17th century, Scottish settlers brought oats to North
America. Today, the largest commercial producers of oats include the Russian
Federation, the United States, Germany, Poland and Finland.
