We know a thing or two about oats… We live and breathe them (figuratively, of course!). Whether you’re baking for your café, stocking your deli shelves, or rustling up porridge in bulk for a breakfast menu, having the right oats makes all the difference. That’s why we’re proud to offer a variety of oat types, each with their own texture, flavour and best use scenarios.

Read on to find out more about our oaty offerings – and how to get the best out of each one!

Jumbo Oats

What are they?
Jumbo oats are whole oat flakes that are rolled to a larger, flatter size. They’re hearty, chewy and keep their structure beautifully when cooked.

Perfect for:

– Granola that clumps just right and has that satisfying crunch

– Rustic flapjacks and oat bars that hold together but don’t go soggy

– Topping muffins or crumbles for an artisanal finish

– Chunky biscuit recipes that need bite

Medium Oats

What are they?
Medium oats are slightly smaller and finer than jumbo oats but still retain that classic oat flake shape. They’re a fantastic in-between – not too chunky, not too fine.

Perfect for:

– Baking biscuits, traybakes and muffins where you want oats without dominating texture

– Porridge with a bit of body but still nice and smooth

– Coating fish or meat before frying or baking to add a crispy layer.

Quick Oats SC50

What are they?
Our Quick Oats ‘SC50’ are finely milled for a faster cook and a smoother consistency. They’re ideal for high-speed kitchens or instant mixes.

Perfect for:

– Instant porridge pots and sachets

– Smoothies and oat-based drinks

– Soft-textured baked goods like oat pancakes or soft cookies

– Energy balls and bars that need a consistent bind

Porridge Oats

What are they?
Our Porridge Oats are specially blended to give a creamy, comforting consistency every time. They’re a mix that balances texture and smoothness – perfect for traditional porridge lovers.

Perfect for:

– Bulk porridge production with consistent results

– Breakfast oat bars or overnight oats

– Base for baked oatmeal dishes

All our oats are grown and milled here in the UK with full traceability and care. They’re naturally gluten free and 100% plant based, making them ideal for a wide range of dietary needs.
