Porridge Oats, 1kg

1kg of Porridge Oats packed in our plant-based celluose, compostable packaging.

Porridge oats are whole oat groats that have been cleaned, steamed, and rolled flat. This process makes them quick to cook while retaining most of the oat’s natural fibre and nutrients. In the UK, “porridge oats” typically refers to rolled oats.

Flavour & texture

Mild, slightly sweet and nutty. When cooked, they become creamy and soft, with a comforting, neutral base that works with both sweet and savoury flavours.

Common culinary uses

• Porridge – cooked with milk, water, or a mix of both
• Overnight oats – soaked rather than cooked
• Baking – flapjacks, oat biscuits, crumbles
• Thickening – soups, stews, veggie burgers
• Savoury dishes – oat risotto, stuffing, coatings

Porridge oats are extremely versatile beyond breakfast.

Using porridge oats

Cooking time:

Creamier porridge: use milk and stir gently

 Tip: A pinch of salt improves flavour, even in sweet porridge.
