TRY OUR ORGANIC PORRIDGE

Coarsely ground wholegrain oats or oat bran? Overview of our porridges

At Verival, you will find two different types of organic porridge with oats: our porridge made from rolled oats and our porridge made from oat bran. They differ mainly in their consistency and how they are prepared. You can easily see which porridge is made from which ingredient by checking the list of ingredients. Verival porridges made with coarsely ground wholegrain oats are particularly creamy. They can also be prepared cold as overnight oats.

Verival porridges made with oat bran, on the other hand, have a grainier texture and a slightly nutty flavour. Our porridges made with bran should only be prepared warm, as the bran does not absorb cold liquids very well.

INCREDIBLY CREAMY PORRIDGE

Our Verival porridges with coarsely ground wholegrain oats

Oat groats consist of finely ground rolled whole grain oat flakes and therefore have an even finer consistency than fine oat flakes. The whole oat grain is processed and contains lots of valuable fibre.

Our porridges with oat groats are particularly creamy thanks to the finely ground and rolled whole grain oats and can be prepared not only with hot milk or plant-based drinks, but also with cold milk in the form of overnight oats.

GRAINY PORRIDGE WITH MORE BITE

Our Verival porridges with oat bran

Oat bran is made from the aleurone layer (a thin skin that surrounds the inner endosperm), the outer layers of the grain (including the seed coat and pericarp) and the germ of the oat grain.

These outer layers of the oat grain and the germ are actually the most nutritious parts. Particularly noteworthy is the high content of soluble fibre, especially beta-glucans, in oat bran. They have the remarkable property of binding water and forming a gel-like substance. This contributes to healthy digestion and helps regulate blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol, which has an extremely positive effect on health.

Oat bran has a slightly sweet, nutty flavour and a coarser texture. It requires a little more time and liquid to soften and achieve a consistency similar to oatmeal or oat groats.
