Porridge is so easy to do raw, and such a satisfying breakfast. Just make sure you get the raw oats, like we have here. Oats provide a calm and balanced source of carbohydrate fuel. They make a great breakfast food as they are moderate on the glycemic scale, so you can keep going until lunchtime without a mid-morning slump. Oats are naturally gluten-free; and as a staple northern European food for thousands of years, they tend to be easy on the digestion. Virtually all oats sold commercially are heat-treated in order to stabilise them, as oats go rancid easily. If you’re wanting raw oats, they are really hard to find, but guess what! Yes, we’ve tracked them down for you.
