Applications
Common uses
Intake grain for groats, flakes, oatmeal, flour and other oat ingredients. Mill recovery depends on grain characteristics and the dehulling process. Buying detail: Request a dehulled sample to inspect groat soundness. Compare groat yield alongside test weight, and define gluten-related controls separately if the finished product will carry a claim.
