What can you use organic groats for?

Roasted or unroasted groats?

The difference lies in the heat treatment of the groats . Roasted groats, also known as toasted groats, are heat-treated, giving them a stronger aroma and a slightly bitter flavor. Unroasted groats, on the other hand, are merely dried, giving them a more delicate flavor. Both types have similar nutritional values, but the less processed unroasted groats retain slightly more of the health-promoting nutrients.
