Why Choose This Product? 

McCabe Organic Whole Oat Groats are the gold standard for those seeking the least processed version of the oat grain. Unlike rolled or instant oats, groats remain entirely intact, ensuring that all the natural fiber, protein, and heart-healthy Beta-Glucans are preserved. This makes them an exceptional choice for anyone prioritizing digestive health and sustained energy levels throughout the day.

When cooked, these groats offer a robust, nutty flavor and a distinct "pop" in texture that is far more satisfying than traditional porridge. They are incredibly versatile beyond breakfast; their structural integrity allows them to be used as a wholesome substitute for rice in savory pilafs, risottos, or as a dense base for Mediterranean-style grain salads.

Grown under strict organic protocols in Southern California, our groats are free from synthetic pesticides and GMOs. Because they are a whole grain, they have a lower glycemic index, helping to stabilize blood sugar. For the health-conscious cook, this 2lb bag provides a high-value, nutrient-packed staple that brings authentic, rustic quality to the modern kitchen.

Frequently Asked Questions

A groat is the whole oat kernel in its purest edible form. Only the tough, inedible outer hull is removed, while the bran, germ, and endosperm remain intact. This makes groats the least processed type of oats available. Because nothing valuable is stripped away, they retain their full nutritional profile; rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and natural oils; unlike rolled or instant oats which undergo additional processing.
Soaking is optional but highly beneficial. When you soak groats for 6–12 hours (or overnight), the outer bran layer softens, which helps them cook faster and more evenly. It can also improve digestibility and texture, giving you a softer, more pleasant bite. If you’re short on time, you can skip soaking, but expect a longer cooking time and a firmer texture.
Whole oat groats contain natural oils that can lose freshness if exposed to heat, light, or air for long periods. Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place such as a pantry. For extended shelf life—especially in warmer climates—refrigeration after opening is strongly recommended. This helps maintain their flavor, nutritional quality, and prevents rancidity.
Yes, these groats can be ground into fresh oat flour at home. Using a high-speed blender or grain mill, you can process them into a fine or slightly coarse flour depending on your preference. Freshly ground oat flour works well in baking recipes like pancakes, muffins, and breads, offering a wholesome, slightly nutty flavor. It’s best to grind in small batches for maximum freshness.
Oats are naturally free from gluten. However, cross-contact can occur during farming, transportation, or processing if the same equipment is used for wheat or other gluten-containing grains. Because of this, these groats are not certified gluten-free. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, it’s important to choose oats that are specifically labeled and certified gluten-free.
For stovetop cooking, use 3 cups of water for every 1 cup of groats. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 45–60 minutes. If you’ve pre-soaked the groats, the cooking time may reduce slightly. You’ll know they’re ready when the grains are tender but still pleasantly chewy. You can adjust water slightly depending on whether you prefer a firmer or softer texture.
