What Are Umpqua Oats?

Umpqua Oats have rolled on to the scene and are now available at a number of retailers. Touted as being all-natural, the oats are minimally processed rolled-oats, which makes it more like a proper bowl of Oatmeal rather than mush. With a number of different mixes that include dried fruits and nuts, there's a flavour for everyone.

Umpqua oats are available in single serving 12-oz containers. Simply open the top, add hot water to it, put the lid back on for 2-3 minutes and it's ready to eat! Because it's steamed and pressed instead of mills, you get thick, full oats instead of a soup.

With a low GI score and loaded with nutrients, it will keep you fuller for longer than other alternatives and provide more nutrients. High end cafes everywhere are offering oatmeal as a point-of-sale item to go with the morning coffee their regulars pick up.
