Eden Organic Oat Flakes (454g)
Eden Organic Oat Flakes are premium, 100% whole grain oats (Avena sativa) grown on family-owned organic farms in Saskatchewan, Canada. These oats are uniquely processed using a traditional method: they are steamed, gas fire-roasted (flame-roasted), and then rolled into flakes. This flame-roasting process enhances the grain's natural sweetness and provides a rich, nutty flavor that sets them apart from standard rolled oats.
