About Wheat groats

Wheat groats are the hulled, minimally processed kernels of wheat, consisting of the bran, germ, and endosperm. With origins deeply rooted in global cuisines, they are commonly used in Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Mediterranean dishes. Versatile and nutrient-dense, wheat groats are rich in complex carbohydrates, fiber, and plant-based protein, making them an excellent energy source for sustained fullness and digestive health. They also provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and selenium, supporting overall health. As a whole grain, they promote heart health and help regulate blood sugar levels. However, because they contain gluten, wheat groats are unsuitable for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. When incorporated into balanced meals, wheat groats are a hearty, wholesome addition to soups, salads, or breakfast porridges.
