As temperatures drop, nothing beats a warming bowl of nourishing organic oats as part of your winter breakfast routine.
EATING ORGANIC OATS
With winter in full swing, nourishing comfort foods start to take centre stage – and one of the heroes of winter breakfasts and baking is organic oats. Aside from being super easy to make and incredibly versatile organic oats are good for you!
Nutrient-rich: Organic Oats are packed with fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals which are essential for overall health and wellbeing.
Heart-healthy: Their soluble fibre helps lower cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of heart disease – a big plus!
Blood sugar control: The complex carbohydrates in organic oats provide a steady release of energy, preventing spikes in blood sugar levels. This makes them a great option for sports people looking for a long-lasting, slow burning energy source.
Weight management: Organic oat bran helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, aiding in weight management and helping prevent overeating. This is all thanks to the outer layer of the oat grain the oat bran is made from.
Environmentally friendly: Choosing organic oats supports sustainable farming practices, preserving soil health and reducing the use of harmful chemicals. We love that.

Organic Wheat Free Rolled Oats
Due to the national food safety standards (FSANZ) we are unable to call our organic oats gluten free. However, batch tests have shown no gluten has been detected on these oats, which are grown and processed in a special facility – so we’ve called them Wheat-Free Oats instead. Studies show that pure (uncontaminated) oats are well tolerated by most people with coeliac disease. However, in some people with coeliac disease consuming oats or oat products can result in a potentially harmful immune response. If you have coeliac disease, you should seek medical advice before consuming oats and oat products and only do so if it is deemed safe for you. If you do not have a gluten allergy but are looking to minimise gluten in your diet, then our wheat free oats are a great option!
Organic Wheat Free Quick Oats
Sustainably grown and 100% organic, our pure wheat free rolled oats cannot be called organic gluten free oats, due to FSANZ standards, hence the name. Discover more about wheat free oats here. Want to find out more about wheat free versus gluten free oats? Click here.
