Oats have been part of many cultures since ancient times.

Research shows that 80% of Americans now have a supply of oatmeal for all occasions. Oats are also rich in fiber, providing long-lasting energy and satiety, as well as aiding in the control of blood sugar levels. Oats are also used to feed horses. In Scotland, oats have been cultivated for centuries and are in great demand due to the country’s high humidity and low temperatures, which create ideal conditions for growing oats.
