Which Oats Are the Best Buy?

When you make oatmeal, you can choose from the following types of oats:

• Flaked Oatmeal
• Oat Groats
• Steel-Cut Oats

Out of the three types, oat groats will be your best buy.  Oat groats are the whole oat grain that has not been adulterated in any way. Since it has received minimal processing, the cost is lower than the other forms of oats.

So the next time you are out shopping or ordering online, be sure to look for oat groats and add them to your cart.  You will be able to use the oat groats to make a delicious and budget-friendly breakfast that is easy to make.

Making Apple Cider Vinegar

When you soak your oat groats in water overnight, you’ll want to add apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, or whey. I like to use apple cider vinegar.

Did you know you can easily and cheaply make homemade apple cider vinegar? I’ll show you how in my three-part series. You won’t need to buy it from the store anymore!

More Soaking and Sprouting Recipes

In addition to soaking oat groats to make soaked oatmeal, you can also soak beans and nuts, as well as sprout flour to make healthy and delicious homemade recipes.

Storing Whole Grain in Your Prepper Pantry

If you want to store whole grain for the long-term in your extended or Prepper Pantry, I’ll show you which grains you need, how to store the grains safely, and turn the grains into flour.

The Flake Lovers Flaker from Mockmill

With your stored whole grain, you can use the Flake Lovers Flaker from Mockmill to create freshly flaked grain. This device flakes whole grain in minutes, and you can use your flaked oat groats to make soaked oatmeal too. (Watch my Flake Lovers Flaker video to see the device in action.)

Mockmill also makes an electric grain mill that is a very affordable and beautifully crafted. This German-made mill stone grinds grain with settings ranging from 1 to 10—fine to coarse ground grain. I use my Mockmill to make fresh grain in many of my videos, and you can see how this electric grain mill works in my Mockmill 100 unboxing video.

And I have great news! The folks at Mockmill are very kind to offer my viewers and readers a special one-time discount on any of the flakers or grain mills that they sell.
