Cereal products

The organic grain products available in our store are made by processing grains such as wheat, oats, barley, buckwheat, rye, corn, and rice . The most popular grain products made from organic grains are organic groats , organic pasta , organic flour , bread, cereals, organic bran , and organic rice .

They provide energy primarily from carbohydrates and contain a variety of nutrients. Their properties depend on the grain from which they are made. They also contain 5-10% protein and dietary fiber.

Gluten in cereal products

Many grains naturally contain gluten. People who are intolerant to this ingredient or eliminate it from their diet should be careful which products contain it. Some grains are naturally gluten-free, and some organic grain products have gluten removed during the production process . Such products are marked with the Crossed-Out Grain symbol, which certifies a gluten-free product.

Organic whole grain and processed products

Organic grain products can be categorized based on the degree of grain processing . Minimally processed products are called whole grains. During the production process, the grains are not stripped of their bran (grain husks). This allows whole grain products to provide the full range of vitamins and minerals found in a given grain. Furthermore, organic whole grain products are more filling and nutritious , taking longer to digest, delaying the return of hunger. They are a good choice for those trying to lose weight. This group includes, for example, whole-wheat bread or flour, whole-wheat rice, and whole-wheat groats.

Products made from refined grains, on the other hand, have a lower content of valuable vitamins and minerals. Many valuable nutrients are found in the grain husk. Due to their low fiber content, they digest more quickly and provide energy more quickly. Processed grain products are suitable for those on a high-calorie diet. Less satiety allows for a higher calorie intake. However, it's important to remember to supplement essential nutrients from other sources. Examples include white bread, white rice, and breakfast cereals.
