Product Information

A: Yes! You can swap sprouted steel cut oats for unsprouted oats in any recipe that calls for steel cut oats. Sprouted steel cut oats can be used as a one-to-one substitute for regular steel cut oats. Whether you cook them sprouted steel cut oats on the stovetop, in your rice cooker or instant pot, or in the microwave, the cooking directions for sprouted steel cut oats are identical to regular steel cut oats. Sprouted steel cut oats will perform just like steel cut oats in any dish. Q: Can I use sprouted steel cut oats instead of Irish oatmeal? Add 1 cup of the hot broth and cook, stirring constantly, adjusting the cooking to a simmer until liquid is almost absorbed. Repeat the process, adding about ½ cup of the broth each time, until rice is just beginning to get tender, about 25 minutes. Add asparagus and carrots, continuing the process with the broth. A: We take multiple steps to ensure that our sprouted oats are free from gluten contamination, including working with farmer partners who use geographic separation and mechanically separating the oats from other grains.

From wheat to oats, from rice to maize, sprouted grains are just seeds at the beginning of their journey to becoming a plant. But what happens in a sprouting grain’s first few hours and days turns a humble little seed into a marvel of whole grain nutrition. This effect could be the oats high fiber content that makes people feel full and reduces their calorie intake. Low glycemic index (GI)Although sprouted steel cut oats are also perfectly safe to eat out of the bag, you may find them on the crunchy side to enjoy without further cooking or grinding!)

The oat, or common oat, plant Avena sativa is a cereal grain people grow for its seeds. They harvest and process oats to various degrees, creating different oat products. In sprouted barley and oats the hydrolytic activity of endogenous β-glucanases determined a significant reduction in β-glucans [ 15]. This leaded to a decrease in the total soluble fibers over time, up to 144 h [ 37], and to a different behavior with respect to species characterized by lower β-glucans content, such as wheat, where the amount of soluble fraction remained constant up to 96 h and then increased steadily until 168 h [ 39]. Although the Best Before date is not an expiry date, it is the date to which One Degree Organics can guarantee freshness. Stored correctly in an air-tight container, your sprouted oats may be usable for many weeks or months beyond the Best Before date. Q: How can you tell if your sprouted oats are still good beyond the Best Before date?A: Yes! Irish oatmeal is simply another name for steel cut oats, so you can use sprouted steel cut oats in any recipe that calls for Irish oats. When you fill your spoon with our non-GMO, glyphosate-free cereals, you get all the nutrition and digestibility benefits of sprouted whole grains like organic corn, maize, oats, brown rice, and amaranth. And our Sprouted Oat O’s include sprouted garbanzo beans, too. The protein6 and free amino acids found in oats2 are increased as a result of sproutling. The sprouting process breaks down antinutrient phytates 13 to 20%2 by daybreak to improve the bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients. Although sprouting oats is lower in phytates, it improves the bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients. Raw oats contain less magnesium and GABA12 than sprouted oats.

However, storing sprouted oats in the fridge—or freezer—won’t hurt them. If you live in a particularly hot, humid climate, go ahead and store your sprouted oats in an air-tight container in your fridge if you prefer. Or if you shop for sprouted oats in larger volumes less often, it is okay to store sprouted oats in your freezer in an air-tight container to keep them fresh for longer, too. Q: How long do sprouted oats last once the bag is opened?If people are going to all of this trouble to have sprouted grains, they must be better for you, right? The answer is maybe. Steel-cut oats undergo minimal processing, and their hard exterior can take 15–30 minutes or more to cook, depending on the method. When a grain sprouts, those enzymes activate and begin to turn the seed’s stored nutrients into more usable forms. Even in cereals, where starch is the main carbon store in the endosperm, lipids are abundant in the living tissues of whole grains (i.e., embryo, scutellum and aleurone) as oil (triacylglycerols, TAG). The mobilization of TAG from oil bodies requires a coordinated metabolic activity, which is started on with germination, leading to the net conversion of oil to sugars [ 61]. The lipases firstly release the esterified fatty acids (FAs) from TAG. Free fatty acids (FFAs) can then be degraded through the β-oxidation and glyoxylate cycles and subsequently converted into sugars [ 61]. Further information on the pathways involved in the conversion of TAG into sugars in germinated seeds can be obtained from the reported literature.
