Oats are a classic staple of most childhood mornings as a traditional breakfast food, but did you know that they are actually an incredibly healthy wholefood. Oats are among the healthiest foods you can eat, high in fibre, protein and a wealth of vitamins and minerals they really are hard to beat. What are the types of oats? Whole or jumbo oats, which are the least broken down, and therefore take longer to cook. Rolled oats, which have been roasted, steamed and flattened to remove the outer shell. Oatmeal, which has similarly been roasted, steamed and flattened, but is ideal for making porridge. Broadly speaking these oats all have similar nutritional contents, although roasting and steaming oats can very slightly reduce this. Due to their similarities, it is often best to pick oats based around what you will use them for (while also taking the health benefits into consideration). Do oats improve digestion? Oats are also packed full of insoluble and soluble fibre (both of which are very healthy) Insoluble fibre is great for aiding digestion, while soluble fibre helps to lower cholesterol and improve heart health. As well as the obvious digestive benefits, the high fibre content in oats has been shown to help establish healthy gut bacteria, and generally maintain a healthy gut microbiome. Why oats are the perfect breakfast? One of the reasons oats are primarily used as a breakfast food is because of their low glycemic index and slow releasing energy. The glycemic index refers to the speed at which carbohydrates raise glucose levels in the blood, the lower the score the slower the release of energy. The slow release of energy means that oats really can keep you powered from breakfast until lunch, without crashing in the late morning.Not only will oats keep your energy levels high, they will also make you feel fuller due to their beta glucan content. Beta glucan is a specific type of hard to find soluble fibre, which increases the water absorption in your body, this creates a feeling of fullness and helps to stop overeating, which when combined with the long lasting energy of oats makes them a really useful weight management tool. The incredible nutritional benefits of oats Oats also contain vitamins B1, B2 and inositol. Vitamin B1 (also known as thiamin) provides a boost to the nervous system, while also helping to facilitate the slow releasing energy mentioned above. Vitamin B2 (also known as riboflavin) is great for helping to maintain healthy skin and hair, while also helping to provide a strong nervous system. Inositol is unique, in that it is technically a sugar rather than a vitamin, but it helps the body to process insulin. Oats are a unique superfood, as they are not only a naturally gluten free and vegan source of protein, but they are also incredibly affordable. The amount of protein in oats is often understated in favour of its fibre contents, however dry oats actually contain around 26 grams of protein per cup! Why everyone should keep oats in their pantry? The overwhelming health benefits of oats combined with how simple they are to cook with, make them an ideal part of any balanced diet particularly for those who are struggling with their protein or fibre intake. As well as the obvious use of oats as a breakfast food, oats are also an incredibly useful ingredient for any aspiring baker adding texture, flavour and a litany of health benefits to pretty much any dish you can think of.

Introducing Wholefood Earth's new product listing - Vital Wheat Gluten.Famous for the creation of Seitan - the vegan meat alternative!Vital wheat gluten is a natural protein source found in wheat. It is a powerful flour that is almost pure gluten. It is made from wheat flour that has had the gluten activated during a dehydrating process, removing all other ingredients except the gluten. Wheat gluten has very little starch content and a fantastic way of making dough elasticated. Vital wheat gluten is great for bread making as it helps to increase the gluten content of the bake. It is equally as great used in muffins, cakes and other bakes such as tarts and pastries where you are working with yeast ingredients. A small amount added to yeast bread recipes improves the texture and elasticity of the dough. When combined with water it becomes highly elastic and has a sticky like texture. Vital Wheat Gluten is a natural and very effective raising agent, helping your bread fill out perfectly and evenly, giving it more volume. It can be especially helpful for baking bread made with whole grain flours and coarse cereals. Vital Wheat Gluten can ensure recipes that require fruit, nuts and seeds, chocolate chips etc stay firmly held together and a good binder too! Brilliant for binding Vegan Meatballs, Burgers, Tofu etc. To make Seitan: Mix Vital Wheat Gluten with spices and add water to make a dough. When the gluten dough is cooked either by steaming, baked or boiled it becomes chewy with a meat style texture! See the range of sizes online and in store today! We sell in bulk so perfect for cafes, restaurants and keen cooks alike!

You’ve filled your kitchen cupboards with organic seeds, ancient grains, and heart-healthy pulses. You’re eating "clean," and you’re feeling good about your choices. But here is a question: is your body actually absorbing what you’re eating? One of the biggest mysteries of the whole-food world is why some of the healthiest ingredients on the planet can pass through our systems without leaving much behind. If you’ve ever noticed whole seeds appearing in your stool (it happens to the best of us!), it’s a sign that you aren't unlocking the nutrition you’ve paid for. The "Tough Shell" Problem: Why Some Seeds Need a Helping Hand Nature is clever. Seeds, like Flaxseeds (Linseed) and Chia, are designed to survive the digestive tract of animals so they can be planted elsewhere. They have a incredibly tough outer hull that resists stomach acid. The Flaxseed Secret: Flaxseeds are one of the best plant-based sources of Omega-3, but if you eat them whole, you’ll miss out. To get the benefits, you need to break that shell. The Fix: Buy your flaxseeds whole (they stay fresh much longer this way) and grind a small amount in a coffee grinder or blender as you need them. This ensures the delicate oils don't go rancid, and your body can actually reach the nutrients inside. The "Antinutrient" Myth: It's Not a Dirty Word You might have heard people talking about "antinutrients" like phytic acid in grains and beans. Some influencers try to make these sound scary, but they are just part of the plant’s natural defence system. The problem isn't the grain; it’s the preparation. Soaking: Just as we discussed with pulses, soaking your grains (like quinoa or brown rice) for even a few hours helps neutralise these compounds. Sprouting: If you have a bit more patience, allowing your grains or seeds to "sprout" (germinate) slightly turns them from a dormant seed into a living plant, making the vitamins and minerals much more "bioavailable" for your body to use. Why Buying Whole and Bulk is the Savvy Way to Shop When you buy pre-ground seeds or "instant" grains from a supermarket, they have often been sitting on a shelf for months. The nutrients start to degrade the moment the shell is broken. By buying whole ingredients in bulk, you are getting the freshest possible product. You control when the seed is ground or when the grain is soaked, ensuring you get 100% of the health benefits. Join the Community of Smart Shoppers Join The WFE Club.
