Did you know? Oat plants are wind pollinated. This means that the pollen is carried by the wind from one plant to another. They are also used as bioindicator for environmental pollution. Oats are sensitive to various environmental pollutants, such as heavy metals and air pollutants. When exposed to contaminated soil or air, oat plants can show visible signs of stress or damage, making them valuable indicators of environmental health and air quality in certain regions. While some oil can be extracted from oat seeds, the oil content is relatively low compared to traditional oilseed crops like sunflower or soybeans. On average, the oil content in oat seeds ranges from 3% to 5% by weight. This means that for every 100 kilograms of oat seeds, you can expect to obtain approximately 3 to 5 kilograms of oil.

Suggested Storage: Store at <20°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight
