How do we make it sweet?
Our process is a little like malting, in which some starches in the oat are converted to a mixture of complex, intermediate, and simple carbohydrates. The sweetness is mostly due to glucose from the oat starch. We add no sugars, refined sweeteners, or artificial sweeteners.
Is OatsCremeTM nutritionally equivalent to oatmeal?
Pretty close. We remove coarse insoluble fiber pieces to achieve the remarkably smooth texture of OatsCremeTM. The soluble dietary fiber, called beta-glucan, is retained. Clinical research has shown that it is the soluble dietary fiber that provides the health benefits of oat bran.
Are we going to make it organic?
We have tested organic oats from various sources and have not found any that meet our exacting standards. We will continue to test.
Can you buy OatsCremeTM from the freezer case?
Yes! OatsCremeTM is now available in convenient take-home pints.
Is OatsCremeTM okay for Vegans?
Sure. OatsCremeTM is entirely free of any animal products.
