Commodity Steel Cut Groats Oat delivers a clean, product-focused experience with the flavor, texture, and everyday appeal shoppers expect from this item.

Uses

Breakfast porridge: Simmer in water or milk for 20 to 30 minutes to produce a chewy, nutty hot cereal that holds texture longer than rolled oats under buffet or batch service conditions.
Baking and breads: Add partially cooked groats to artisan breads, muffins, and cookies for whole grain texture, moisture retention, and a toasted oat flavor.
Grain bowls and savory sides: Use in place of farro, barley, or brown rice in grain bowls, pilafs, and savory side dishes where a firm, chewy grain is desired.
Food service and institutional feeding: Portion into batch cook cycles for school breakfast programs, hospital dining, cafeteria lines, and shelter meal service where a hearty, affordable grain base is needed.
Overnight and slow cooker preparation: Soak overnight or cook in a slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours on low to produce a creamy, low maintenance breakfast without constant stirring.

Preparation & Use

For standard porridge, combine 1 part steel cut groats with 3 to 4 parts water or milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still chewy. For faster results, soak groats overnight in the cooking liquid and reduce stovetop time to approximately 10 minutes. Slow cooker method: combine groats and liquid on low for 4 to 6 hours. For baking applications, parboil groats for 10 minutes, drain, and fold into dough or batter. Uncooked groats can also be toasted dry in a skillet for 3 to 5 minutes to intensify nutty flavor before cooking or adding to granola and topping blends.
