If i want to use oats as edible sprouts...which type do i need to buy?...i was told by?
...someone that i need unhulled oats..is this true?
ive read that the natural oat has an unpalatable exterior...but is this altered by soaking..or do i need to buy oats that have this tough exterior already removed.
either way..neither in health food shops or supermarkets, can i seem to find whole oats....they are all either crushed rolled flaked etc.
Answers: Of course its true. If you want to grow the oats so that you can harvest the sprouts, then you need the pure seed, just as it comes from the plant.
The only place to get those would be from an agricultural seed merchant and then you will probably have to buy a sack full.
Why do you want to eat oat sprouts? Have you ever tasted them?
I always thought that the only useful product of oats is the seed, or am I wrong? Brussels Sprouts are quite edible. Horrible but edible. ohh i think i saw some in ASDA, they are organic 100% whole oats and nothing else, i think they were by the brand Jordan / or Jordans. i could be mistaken tho!!
by the way what are you meaning by making sprouts edible? i am very confused!! i thought horses ate oats and sprouts
