This super grain certainly deserves a place in your kitchen cupboard, and here’s why…
What makes gluten-free oats special?
First things first, oats are naturally gluten-free! However, during farming, processing, or packaging, they often come into contact with gluten-containing grains like wheat, barley, or rye. That’s where gluten-free oats, like the ones we produce at Glebe Farm, come to the rescue. Certified gluten-free oats are carefully grown and processed to ensure there’s no cross-contamination, making them safe for those with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. We offer purity levels under 5ppm, which is 20x stricter than the industry gluten-free standard and we’re very proud to say our PureOaty range is certified by Coeliac UK to carry the Crossed Grain Trademark!
Why gluten-free oats are good for you
Gluten-free oats pack a serious nutritional punch, making them a fantastic addition to your diet. Here are just a few reasons why they’re so good for you:
- They’re high in fibre: Oats are an excellent source of dietary fibre, particularly beta-glucan. This type of fibre supports heart health by helping to reduce cholesterol levels and promotes healthy digestion.
- They’re rich in vitamins and minerals: Oats are full of essential nutrients like manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and B vitamins, which are key to keeping your body and mind energised.
- They have a low glycaemic index: Thanks to their slow-digesting carbs, oats help stabilise blood sugar levels, keeping you fuller for longer and avoiding energy crashes.
- They support gut health: Oats are known for their gentle impact on digestion. Their soluble fibre acts like a natural “soother,” helping to regulate bowel movements and nourish the friendly bacteria in your gut.
Despite what you’ve heard about sugary, additive-packed oats being banned by the government in advertising, not all oats are equal! With our gluten-free oats, there’s no gimmicks or additives, just great tasting oats that are super versatile. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just love a good bowl of porridge, oats are incredibly adaptable. You can enjoy them as a warming breakfast, in homemade granola bars, blended into smoothies, or even used as a base for gluten-free baking. The possibilities are endless!
