Low-heated Sprouted Oat Groats

Oatmeal has always been one of my most favorite foods. Over time, as I continued my education in whole food living, I learned the importance of eating whole grains; the grains themselves vs. processed forms. Yes, rolled oats are a processed form of oat groats :) Eating the whole grain ensures you get the balanced nutrition that is amazingly present in the food.

I buy my oat groats in bulk from my health food store. It saves money and builds my food storage!

When you sprout a food; grain, seed, nut, legume, you will increase it's nutritional value by 300 to 600%! Not to mention it digests easier, like a vegetable :)

Low-heat cooking ensures that you are keeping all the nutrition and digestive enzymes, adding life to your body instead of deadness.

This isn't a new thing I have made up, in the nutrition world sprouting and low heat cooking are very well known. This is just me sharing with you another healthy tip to improve your relationship with food :)

• 3 cups water


• 1 cup oat groats

Put water into pot and bring to boil. I also like to make my oven warm during this process so I will turn it on to pre-heat a little.  When the water is at a boil, remove from heat and turn oven off. Add groats, put lid on and place in oven. Do this at bed time and when you wake up the next morning, breakfast is ready! Top with honey, agave nectar, cinnamon, or whatever your favorite oatmeal topping is :)
