Oat

Oats are a healthy, ecological and versatile cereal

Oats are a healthy and delicious cereal which complements both sweet and salty flavors. Oats contain lots of protein, good fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and fibers. One of the most important nutrients that oats contain is beta-glucan, a soluble fiber which is shown to be good for the heart and stomach. Finland is known for producing high quality, clean and safe oats, and you can find lots of oat-based products here at Arctic Pure as well. Try for example the delicious oat chocolates or the high-quality oatmeal!

Oats have a balanced and rich nutrient profile. The key nutrient contributing to its many health effects is the fiber beta-glucan. Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber which can be found in oats and barley. The health claims related to beta-glucan are approved by EFSA.

The main benefits of oats are:
