Shiloh Farms Organic Oat Groats - Whole Grain, Set of 2 (2 x 12 oz) — High Fiber, Heat-Stabilized

Shiloh Farms Whole Grain Organic Oat Groats are minimally processed, heat-stabilized whole oats that deliver nutty flavor, chewy texture, and a concentrated source of fiber and complex carbohydrates.

These oat groats are the whole, intact oat kernels that have been lightly toasted and cleaned to stabilize the grain and preserve natural nutrients. Because the bran, germ, and endosperm remain intact, groats keep more of the minerals, B vitamins, and protein found in whole oats. Packaged in two 12-ounce bags and certified organic and kosher, these groats are made in the USA and designed for versatile kitchen use—from long-simmered breakfasts to grain bowls and pilafs.

How do these oat groats differ from rolled oats or quick oats?

Oat groats are the least processed form of oat, retaining the whole kernel. Rolled and quick oats are steamed and flattened, which shortens cooking time but also alters texture and may reduce some heat-sensitive nutrients. Groats keep a firmer, chewier bite and a pronounced nutty flavor.

• Least processed whole oat form: bran, germ, and endosperm intact
• Longer cooking time — hearty, chewy texture
• Stronger nutty flavor compared with rolled oats
• Heat-stabilized to prevent rancidity but not suitable for sprouting

What can I make with Shiloh Farms oat groats?

Groats are a flexible pantry ingredient. They work well in slow-cooked breakfasts, savory grain salads, side dishes, and even blended into homemade flour. Because they hold their shape, groats bring texture to recipes that require longer cooking or baking.

• Stovetop or pressure-cooker porridge with milk, fruit, and nuts
• Grain bowls and pilafs paired with roasted vegetables or proteins
• Soaked overnight for a softer texture with less active cooking
• Lightly toasted then added to soups for chew and body

What are the nutritional highlights and handling tips?

These groats are rich in fiber and provide a solid source of complex carbohydrates and plant protein, alongside minerals such as manganese, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc. Because the grains have been heat treated to stabilize natural oils, they store well; keep them in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for extended freshness.

• Good source of soluble fiber and complex carbohydrates
• Contains B vitamins and minerals naturally concentrated in whole grain
• Heat-stabilized to reduce rancidity—store in airtight container
• Not viable for sprouting due to heat treatment

How long do they take to cook and what methods work best?

Cooking time varies by method: stovetop simmering yields the best texture, while a pressure cooker or slow cooker shortens active time. Soaking overnight cuts cooking time and produces a creamier result. Start with a 3:1 liquid-to-groat ratio and adjust for desired consistency.

• Stovetop: simmer 30–45 minutes for tender groats
• Pressure cooker: 15–20 minutes under pressure for softer grains
• Slow cooker: 6–8 hours on low for porridge-style grains
• Soak overnight to reduce active cooking time and soften texture

Who is this product for? Shiloh Farms Organic Whole Oat Groats suit home cooks and bakers who want a whole-grain ingredient with pronounced flavor and chewy texture. They’re ideal for people building nutritious breakfasts, adding chew to salads and soups, or anyone seeking an organic, minimally processed grain from a USA source. If you prefer quick-cooking oats or need a sprouting grain, rolled oats or raw seed options may be better; choose groats when you want substance, nutrition, and a longer-cooked whole-grain experience.
