Description
Scottish oats, typically a 200g serving as part of a larger package, are a traditional wholegrain product known for creating a distinctively creamy porridge texture. Unlike modern rolled oats which are steamed and flattened, Scottish oats are produced by stone-grinding the whole oat groats into a coarse meal, a method used for centuries in Scotland.
Key Features and Description
Processing: The key difference is the milling process. The whole oat kernels (groats) are ground down with large millstones, rather than being sliced with steel blades (steel-cut oats) or rolled into flakes (rolled oats). This results in varying sizes of broken oat bits, which cook down into a smooth, thick consistency.
Texture and Flavor: They are celebrated for yielding a rich, velvety, and creamy bowl of oatmeal, with a slightly nutty flavour. They offer a unique mouthfeel compared to chewier steel-cut oats or softer quick oats.
Nutritional Benefits: As a wholegrain food, Scottish oats are a nutritional powerhouse.High in fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which helps to lower cholesterol and manage blood sugar levels.
A good source of protein and complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy.
Naturally rich in essential vitamins and minerals, including manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and B vitamins.
Low in fat and sugar.
Usage: They are primarily used to make traditional Scottish porridge, but their fine texture also makes them suitable for use in baking recipes such as oatcakes, cookies, crumbles, and even in savory dishes like stews to add texture and thicken them.
