Description: This line of Black oats has been selected and grown for many years at Milmore Downs where they grow it for animal feed, because it has very long high quality stems which make it an exellent carbon crop, almost hulless but not quite. All grains contain phytic acids and other anti nutrients and were traditionally always either fermented, sprouted or soaked and cooked for a long slow period to make the grains digestible and nutritious for the human digestive system.
