About Oat groats

Oat groats are oat kernels with the inedible outer hull removed, while the bran, germ, and endosperm remain. They are small, firm grains, usually tan or cream, with a mild, earthy, nutty flavour. Compared with rolled oats, intact groats take longer to soften during cooking.

They can be simmered until tender and served as a grain or used in soups and grain-based preparations. Groats may be sold whole or cut into smaller pieces; the cut form cooks more quickly and has a different texture from intact kernels.
