Hamlyns Scottish Steelcut Pinhead Oats, 500g Tin

Get your day off to a great start. Our porridge oats and oatmeals are perfect for making porridge and for using in a wide variety of sweet and savoury recipes. Traditional Scottish Porridge Oats and Oatmeal. Our range includes Scottish Oatmeal, Scottish Porridge Oats, Scottish Porridge Oats & Bran and Pinhead Oatmeal in a re-sealable tin. All four varieties can be used to make a delicious porridge, each with a different distinctive taste and texture. As a general rule, the finer the porridge oats or oatmeal, the shorter the cooking time required. The cooking time is reduced further if you choose porridge oats over oatmeal, as the oats are lightly steamed during the milling process before they are rolled. Oat farming at Hamlyns involves working closely with Scottish farmers to grow high-quality oats, which are rigorously tested and monitored from seed to harvest. After harvesting, the oats are cleaned and stored before being processed. The production process includes hulling to remove husks, kilning for flavor and preservation, and milling to achieve different textures. Finally, oats are packed using automated systems and delivered to stores, ensuring a fresh product from field to table. Sustainable practices, like using a wind turbine, enhance the process.
