  • Proteins: rich in high biological quality proteins.

  • Amino acids: Oats contain 6 of the 8 amino acids, indispensable for proper protein synthesis.
  • This grain contains a fair amount of fiber, essential for proper intestinal functioning and for loosing weight.
  • Oats contain the highest amount of vegetable fats out of all grains.  100 grams of oats cover one third of our daily essential fatty acid requirements.
  • Like all foods, when oats are well paired with other produce, such as fruits or vegetables, trace minerals, soy milk, etc., it greatly increases the amount of amino acids absorbed by the body, nearing the body’s ideal consumption.

A truly energetic smoothie:

In a blender, place 3 spoonfuls of rolled oats, 2 glasses of soy milk, a piece of papaya or banana, 2 tsp. of bee’s pollen, and a bit of brewer’s yeast.  Blend all ingredients and serve.  This is an excellent breakfast for kids , or before leaving for work.  It’s also useful after studying long hours, or when you’re very fatigued.
