Product description

These whole oat groats (or oat kernels) come to us courtesy of Stephen and Tania Walter at Burrum Biodynamics; a family-run farm in Marnoo, western Victoria, certified biodynamic through Demeter Australia.

Grown using regenerative practices that prioritise soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem balance, these oats are harvested in their whole and then stabilised and hulled by Blue Lake Milling in nearby Bordertown. This is the same Mitika variety used in our creamy and quick rolled oats, just in its most natural state.

Oat groats are our least processed form of oats, which are an ideal for home milling, long-soak porridges, grain salads, slow cooker meals, or as a base for pilafs and grain bowls. Their nutty, mild flavour and dense texture make them incredibly versatile in whole food kitchens.

Why we love them:

  • Grown by Burrum Biodynamics in Marnoo, VIC
  • Certified biodynamic by Demeter Australia
  • Mitika variety - known for its creamy flavour and soft grain
  • Whole oat groats  - ideal for home milling or long-cook dishes
  • No processing, no additives, just clean grain

About the farm:

Stephen and Tania Walter have spent over two decades building soil and restoring balance to their farm through biodynamic methods. Their oats are grown without chemicals, and their farm ecosystem thrives with healthy soils, active microbial life, and full-season crop rotations. 

FAQs

What are oat groats?

Oat groats are the whole oat kernel with only the inedible hull removed. They are the least processed form of oats and retain the most fibre and nutrients.

What is the Mitika variety?

Mitika is a soft, creamy-textured oat that performs beautifully in both rolled and whole grain form. It’s known for its gentle flavour and good milling properties.

What is the Mitika variety?

Mitika is a soft, creamy-textured oat that performs beautifully in both rolled and whole grain form. It’s known for its gentle flavour and good milling properties.

How do oat groats differ from rolled oats?

Rolled oats are oat groats that have been steamed and flattened. Groats are whole and unflattened, so they take longer to cook and have firmer texture.

Are these oats Australian?

Yes. These oat groats are processed by Blue Lake Milling in Australia in a certified organic facility. Exact farm sources vary, and Blue Lake even import on occasion. We make sure that our batches are only sourced from Australian Farms.

Are they gluten‑free?

While many can consume uncontaminated oats, these oats have been processed in environments where other grains are present. If you require strict gluten‑free certification, unfortunately these oats aren't for you. 

What’s the difference between oat groats and rolled oats?

Oat groats are the whole grain with only the hull removed. Rolled oats are steamed and flattened groats, meaning groats are less processed and take longer to cook, but retain more of their natural texture and flavour.

Can oat groats be milled into flour?

Yes, groats are perfect for home milling and produce a full-bodied whole oat flour, rich in fibre and nutty in flavour.

Are these oats stabilised?

Yes. These groats are gently stabilised using low heat, which deactivates enzymes that cause rancidity. This extends shelf life while maintaining flavour and nutritional integrity. For those wanting raw, unstabilised oats (e.g. for sprouting), these are not suitable.

Why is it best to stabilise oats?

Freshly hulled oats are rich in natural oils that can go rancid quickly due to an enzyme called lipase. Stabilisation uses gentle heat to deactivate these enzymes, preserving flavour and shelf life without the need for refrigeration or preservatives.
