Our organic gluten-free Double Protein Oats are purity protocol gluten-free (the highest GF standard) and have about twice the digestible protein of typical rolled oats and 20%-40% more fiber, which means they have a lower glycemic load.

— How are our oats so high in protein? Our high protein is a natural feature of the variety of oats our farmers grow which was selected due to its high protein content and growing height (see Purity Protocol info below). This higher protein is retained because we do not heat process the oats before rolling them out for you. Our oats hulls are very loose and fall off during harvest, whereas other brands have to steam their grains to remove the hulls, which decreases protein content.

— What about anti-nutrients, mycotoxins, and enzyme activity bitterness? Because our oats are raw, their natural enzymes are still active, and that activity can result in varying levels of bitterness in the raw product. The good news is that those enzymes are preventing the development of anti-nutrients like phytates that can interfere with nutrient absorption and cause digestive upset. In addition, because our oat hulls are naturally extremely loose around the grain, they also have a much lower risk of mycotoxins than other typical hulled oat grains. You should always cook any kind of oats and especially raw oats. This will neutralize the bitterness from the enzyme activity.
