Original Oat Flakes
Original oat flakes are made of organic oat whole grains by flattening and steaming, thanks to which we get the oat flakes containing a lot of nutrients, such as proteins, vitamin B, minerals, iron and fibre. Oat flakes have a high vegetable fibre content that positively affects digestion and improves overall health, as well as provides a long lasting feeling of fullness.

Chemical composition of a product is characterized by calories, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, dietary fibres and vitamins. For organic products, these parameters significantly depend on natural factors – air temperature and precipitation during vegetational season, dry or rainy season, geographic latitude and longitude of cultivation, botanical grain varieties, and soil type. It is impossible to foresee all the factors, so these values are average and indicative only.
