The manufacturers of Coarse Oatmeal have stated that the packaging is free from plastic.
Coarse oatmeal has a rough texture which lets the nutty oaty flavour through. It is perfect for those who like their porridge with a slightly chunky texture. It also makes excellent skirlie.
Coarse oatmeal is also known as steel cut oat groats or pinhead oatmeal.
Pinhead oats add texture to porridge, soups and crumbles. They are wholegrain groats (the inner portion of the oat kernel) which have been cut into only two or three pieces. They are more yellowy and golden than oat flakes and are not dissimilar to broken rice.
