Types of Oats

Oats are an extremely versatile cereal and are available from Mornflake in many grades for breakfasts and cooking.

Oats

These are Oats as they arrive at Mornflake after being cleaned.

Groats

Groats are Oats after the husk has been removed.

Pinhead Oatmeal

Pinhead Oatmeal is made by cutting the Groats into three. We sell Pinhead Oatmeal as Coarse Oatmeal.

Oatbran

Oatbran is produced by extracting the bran from the outer layer of the Groat. Oatbran is rich in soluble and insoluble fibre. It makes a very smooth porridge and can be sprinkled into many recipes, including cereals and salad dishes, or used in baking for high-fibre food.

We produce three Oatbran products: Oatbran 500g Visi Bag, Oatbran 800g Paper Bag and Oatbran Sprinkles.

Jumbo Oats

Jumbo Oats are larger, thicker oats which are rolled from the whole Groat. Jumbo Oats are ideal for making a good, thick porridge with a more pronounced texture. They have a slightly nutty flavour and make superb biscuits and an excellent base for muesli.

We produce two Jumbo Oat products: Jumbo Oats and Scottish Jumbo Oats.

Superfast Oats

Superfast Oats are the most popular oats and are rolled from Pinhead Oatmeal. These are given many names such as Flaked Oats, Oat Flakes, Quick Oats, Rolled Oats, Easy Oats and Porridge Oats but they are basically all the same type of product. They are partially cooked during the milling process and are ideal for making porridge, muesli, parkin and flapjack biscuits.
