Description

Groats are whole grains that include the cereal germ and fiber-rich bran portion of the grain as well as the endosperm.

Groats are the whole-grain kernels of various cereal grains including barley, wheat, rye, and oat. As a whole grain, groats retain the germ, bran, and endosperm after being hulled, a process that removes its outer covering, called the husk or hull.
