Food to Live Organic Oat Groats, 1 Pound – 100% Whole Grain, Non-GMO Seeds, Kosher, Raw, Non-Irradiated, Vegan, Bulk, Low Glycemic, Rich in Protein, Fiber, Copper and Manganese

While Foods stopped carrying bulk oats and so I was glad to find this. Same great flavor and creaminess i desired from steel cut oat groats.

Against what the directions state on the side of the bag, at least ~40-45 minutes for cooking, took more than an hour for fully soft/busted cooked oats!.When I coarsely grind groats or whole oats, then cooking only takes ~40-45 minutes for fully cooking/soft oats. I've since ceased grinding oats, and just boil an hour or use a pressure cooker.No other problems with quality here. Good stuff!Stove/Range Cooking~60 minutes3:1 ratio, three cups water to One cup of oats.Pressure Cooker, second/high pressure ringWARNING: oats can boil over clogging safety valves, only fill pot halfway?~15 minutes preserving oat texture~30 minutes until oats bust open3:1 ratio, three cups water to One cup of oats.American Test Kitchen has a good basic oatmeal recipe, using apple sauce, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt. Typically, I just add cinnamon, nutmeg and sometimes salt. Once cooked, I then use no fat milk and maybe a little maple syrup or sugar substitute.

We always try to eat healthy - this item definitely helps do it. We actually cooked a large amount in the instapot to use through the week. I can be used as regular oatmeal. I can see it used as a rice too with chicken and gravy over it. I've added frozen fruit and reheated in microwave. Also brown sugar and cinnamon are good. Definitely try it.

These oat groats are very delicious, but some batches are cleaner than others. If consistency were better, I would definitely give it five stars.

I am very happy that I found these oat groats on amazon. They are perfect. I used to buy bulk oat groats at my Whole Foods store, but they don't have them any more. So these are a good replacement.

These are super nice oat groats, very good flavor. Kind of expensive.

I have been buying this brand of oatmeal for a long time and everything has always been fine, I was satisfied. Usually I bought 3-5 pounds, this time I bought 25 pounds. I opened the package, poured it into a container, but there was a horror when I prepared for cooking (washed), there were a lot of black, incomprehensible grains in the cereal, which were not washed off completely. Well, I cooked and as if they were not visible in the cooked oatmeal, but when I began to eat, there were a lot of them in the cooked oatmeal, they got on my teeth, I almost shook my teeth. I have never seen such a dirty grain. I'm going to return this cereal back. If I bought 2-5 pounds, I would not return. But I bought 25 pounds, what should I do with this dirty oatmeal? ... these are just a few dirty, incomprehensible, hard “pebbles” or grains that I took out of my plate, I threw out the rest of the oatmeal, otherwise I would have definitely broken my teeth ...

I have been buying this brand for sometime now. They are excellent. I cook them in my Instant Pot. Great flavor and texture.

Product is fine. I did not notice at checkout the ridiculous shipping charge and you can be sure I will never reorder. I'm even beginning to wonder why I pay a monthly fee to Amazon.
