Porridge from Verival: the ideal warm-up for every day
You want a breakfast that tastes wonderful and is really good for you? Not to mention quick and easy to prepare as well? Then our porridges are exactly what you're looking for!
A bowl of this lovely hot oatmeal purée is the perfect start to an energy-packed day. Porridge has a far longer history than muesli or granola, having stood the test of time over decades, centuries, and indeed millennia.
A bowl of nutritious porridge for breakfast kick-starts the day by supplying your body with valuable nutrients, is kind to your digestive system and will easily see you through until lunchtime. Our porridges also make a great breakfast for people in a hurry: simply add hot water or milk, leave to stand, and it's ready to enjoy in just three minutes. More...
Our organic porridge is made to an original, unique and carefully developed recipe – and it goes without saying that we only use the very best ingredients.
What is porridge exactly?
Generally speaking, porridge is a hot oatmeal purée based on two main ingredients: hot milk or water and traditional flaked oats. Mixed together, they produce a nutritious breakfast that supplies your body with energy for the day's activities, be they sport, work or leisure.
In the USA porridge is known as oatmeal, and variations are also found in Asian countries, though here they are often based on rice or quinoa instead of oats. It's pretty much a global classic.
The popular breakfast dish contains lots of fibre and healthy proteins and is faster to prepare than you might expect. So whenever you feel like a healthy breakfast, anyone can whip up a bowl of porridge in the morning – no matter whether you're a vegan, an athlete or simply a lover of good food. Incidentally, at Verival we also offer gluten-free varieties so that gluten-intolerant and gluten-sensitive porridge fans don't have to miss out!
OVERNIGHT OATS
What ingredients do we use in our Verival organic porridges?
All our organic porridge mixes are produced in the Austrian Tyrol and – following the classic porridge formula – are based on oat bran, or gluten-free flaked oats for our gluten-free varieties.
Oats supply your body with plenty of healthy energy, because the complex carbohydrates they contain keep you feeling full for longer and help stabilise your blood sugar levels. Perfect for staving off those late-morning hunger pangs!
Porridge contains lots of important vitamins, minerals and fibre besides, and we also supplement our porridge mixes with great extras such as crunchy almonds, wholesome seeds, and fruit pieces for natural sweetness.
Incidentally, we also take great care in putting together the right combinations of ingredients, testing out numerous different options and ultimately selecting only the very best raw materials. More...
Of course, you can always ring the changes yourself whenever you fancy by adding other ingredients such as fresh fruit, nuts, seeds or spices.
Also, why not experiment with different kinds of plant drinks such as oat milk, coconut milk or soya milk instead of water or cow's milk? Just try them all until you find your personal favourite. By the way, don't forget that many of our porridges are vegan, gluten free and without added sugar. And preparing them is simply child's play.

Porridge basic recipe
The Scottish porridge is easy and can be prepared quickly. You only need three basic ingredients and can then add your favorite fruits and spices.
Ingredients:
- 180 ml milk
- 3-4 tablespoons of oatmeal
- 1 pinch of salt
Preparation:
Bring the milk to a boil in a saucepan. When the milk is boiling, add the oatmeal and switch the stove to a low setting. Let the porridge simmer for about 5 minutes. Don't forget to keep stirring with a wooden spoon, because the hot milk likes to burn in the saucepan. In addition, the porridge gets a nice creamy texture.
Finally, take the pot off the stove and let the porridge soak until it has reached the optimal consistency for you. Finally, add a pinch of salt for that certain something. This emphasizes the taste of the oatmeal even more, whether you want to enjoy your porridge with sweet or savory toppings.
2 Zutaten
50g Porridge (6 EL) + 100 ml Wasser oder 80 ml Milch oder Pflanzendrink
2x Zubereitung
Mit Wasserkocher
Mischung mit kochendem Wasser aufgießen, umrühren und 3 Min. ziehen lassen. Für ein extra cremiges Ergebnis noch einen Schuss Milch oder Pflanzendrink hinzufügen
In der Mikrowelle

What's special about Verival Porridge?
Our porridge mixes are produced from premium-quality organic ingredients, in accordance with our Verival philosophy. Because we're passionate about doing our bit to preserve an intact natural environment, for the insects that pollinate our crops and everyone else besides.
Wherever possible we also opt for ingredients grown in our local region, to support domestic agriculture and keep transport distances as short as possible.

We also offer a number of varieties with no added sugar at all. Instead they are gently sweetened with fruits such as dates or apples.
Where did porridge originate?
The ancient Germanic tribes are known to have enjoyed hot porridge at all times of the day. The Romans eventually adopted the dish and took it with them to the British Isles, where it took Scotland by storm. The Scots like their porridge savoury with a pinch of salt, and tradition apparently dictated that it should only be prepared with water, never milk. Each spoonful of hot porridge was then dipped in cold buttermilk, cream or milk before eating. Why not give it a try? Who knows, perhaps you'll prefer it that way too!
Today, modern porridge is trending all over the world, which is hardly surprising. After all, it's healthy and it tastes great too – what's not to like?!
What porridge varieties are there in the Verival range?
Basically, we differentiate between our slightly sweetened porridges based on super-nutritious oat bran, such as Blackberry or Apricot & Honey, our gluten-free varieties with no added sugar, such as Strawberry & Chia or Blueberry & Apple, and our two savoury blends, Broccoli and Pumpkin & Tomato. In fact, our range now contains no less than 11 different varieties to choose from!
For those who lead an active lifestyle we've created a special Sport Porridge with an extra-high protein content. Vegan and gluten free, it delivers enough energy for a top performance, whether on the sports field or in the office.
If you fancy trying a slightly more exotic porridge, our varieties featuring mango, physalis or coconut are just the thing for you. On the other hand, if you prefer a more traditional recipe we've also got Poppy Seed & Plum and Bircher Porridge in our range. That's diversity for you!
Perhaps you're always at your most creative and experimental in the morning? Then of course you're always free to put together your own porridge blend to reflect your personal taste, perhaps with spices such as cinnamon or vanilla, seeds and nuts, or dried or fresh fruit – you'll find all kinds of basic cereal flakes and various organic toppings here in our online shop.
