Oat Products
Oat Groats
Nith River Milling’s oats are thoroughly tested for quality and purity before being received. After cleaning and sizing, the inedible hull from the oat is removed to produce a groat. The whole groats are steam-conditioned to stabilize them and extend shelf life.
Steel Cut Oat Groats
Steel cut oats are ideal for grinding into oat flour. Nith River Milling supplies steel cut oats to specialty flour mills and wholesale bakeries throughout Ontario and the Eastern USA. They are made from only the highest quality Canadian food-grade oat groats which are carefully cleaned, stabilized and steel cut according to stringent quality control guidelines.
Large and Granola Oat Flakes
Before being rolled into flakes, the oats are cleaned, dehulled and steam conditioned to improve texture and flavour. Large oat flakes are great for a variety of food industry processes, available in different thicknesses to suit specific applications. Oats used for large and granola flakes have a bright colour and are cleaned and graded in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices. Granola flakes use the same process, but are flaked to a greater thickness.
Quick Cook Oat Flakes
Nith River Milling’s quick cook oats are simply steel cut, stabilized oat groats that have been steamed and flaked in the roller mill. Quick cook oats often go by the name of rolled oats, baby oats, quick oats, and instant oats. Available in a number of flaking sizes, quick cook oats are a great base for cereal, snack bars, porridge, pastry and bread.
