Oatmeal of Alford Pinhead Oats - 1 Kg Organic and Gluten free

The true breakfast of champions, now in a heavy resealable bag, you'll find more ways to use these delicious and healthy pinhead oats. Organic and Gluten free uncooked oats cut as fine as the head of a pin, or so they say. This is the same cut as Steel Cut Oats. Toast it and make Cranachan, boil it to make oatcakes, or soak overnight for making breakfast cereal. Wheat-free as oats are never stored near wheat in Scotland. High in fiber and known to help reduce cholesterol. Naturally low in salt with no sugar added. May contain nut traces. 2.2 pound bag. Another one of the 1000 foods to eat before you die according to Mimi Sheraton.

A note on cooking oats, oatmeal or porridge - like eggs, steaks, pizza or countless other beloved food items - the relative doneness of oatmeal is largely a matter of personal taste. Some people like their oatmeal runny, and some prefer it a little more firm, with the excess liquid cooked off. A general rule of thumb is to cook one part oats with three parts liquid (generally water). A half cup of oats cooked with 1.5 cups of water makes a pretty hearty serving for one adult. It's not hard to find a whole range of subtle recommendations in older Scottish cookbooks about how to cook oats -- which hand to use to pour the oats in the water, which hand to use to stir, when to salt, how long to cook, etc. A safe approach is to bring the water to a low boil, add the oats, stir, put a lid on the pot and cook for 20 minutes at low heat, stirring (with a spurtle if you have one!) to keep the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pot, add a little salt after 10 minutes or so. Remember that oats can thicken a little after taken off the stove. Take that into account.

Whether you serve your oatmeal with cream, milk, butter, treacle, maple syrup, fresh fruit, lemon curd or yogurt is also a matter of choice and taste.

Oatmeal of Alford dates back to 1880 at Montgarrie Mill in the heart of Aberdeenshire. As Scotland's best known mill for oats, they still use old fashioned water powered grinding stones to create pinhead oatmeal from the whole oats, and flat bed kilns to dry the grain. the result is oats with the traditional nutty taste and crisp texture.

Change in mixture of Alford Pinhead Oats?

I have been a great fan of Alford Pinhead oats for many years. However, a recent purchase of what seemed an identical products took noticeably longer to cook because it required cooking to a higher temperature before noticeable congealing occurred. This suggests this new batch of Alford Pinhead Oats has a different composition than batches from two years ago. The taste of the resulting porridge was satisfactory, but the need to cook to a higher temperature is concerning. Do other purchasers of these pinhead oats have a similar experience?

Love these. They are just as good as in Scotland, and they are labeled "organic" which is very important to me. I purchased three bags, and I will be back for more. They are fantastic.

I could never go back to any other kind of oats after this chewy goodness. Toast the grains in some butter in a skillet before cooking in (your favorite) milk and you will never go back!

This oatmeal is superb. Could not find a recipe online to prepare it, so I used 3 parts of water to 1 part oatmeal. I found a 1/2 cup oatmeal to 1 1/2 cups water yields a nice serving. Boil the water, add the oatmeal with a generous pinch of salt. Stir occasionally. Cook over med-low heat until done, about 10-15 minutes. I top with Kerrygold butter and pure maple syrup. Fills you up and keeps you going. Gluten free!

I hope #5 means the best of the best. THESE OATS ARE ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS. A unique sweetness and refinement. I've been eating them for years and feel fortunate to be able to purchase them here in the US. I have only eaten the pinhead style.

Wonderfully nutty with enough bite as this version of pin oats is delish. The pins don't take long to cook-and don't necessarily require pre soaking. These pin oats are cut into finer pieces that that of steel cut making it more enjoyable both to cook and to eat.
