Harvesting

Organic steel-cut oats are typically grown in cool, moist climates, making the UK an ideal location for their cultivation. These oats are harvested in the late summer or early autumn when the grains are fully matured. The composition of steel-cut oats includes the endosperm, germ, and bran, providing a rich source of fibre, protein, and essential nutrients. The oats are processed by cutting the whole oat groats into small pieces using steel blades, resulting in a coarse texture that distinguishes them from rolled or instant oats.

The natural raw product of steel-cut oats is characterised by its earthy, nutty flavour and chewy texture when cooked. As a minimally processed product, steel-cut oats retain their natural colour, ranging from pale beige to light brown. These oats are inherently rich in nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, offering a wholesome and nourishing option for consumers. Additionally, some producers may fortify the oats with added vitamins and minerals to enhance their nutritional profile, catering to the growing demand for functional foods.

The organic nature of Organic Steel Cut Oats means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
