Unboiled oats: germination properties and technology
Germinated grains of all cereals contain many nutrients, and oats are no exception. Most often for germination using bare oats. This culture was well known to healers as early as the 5th century AD.e in ancient China, whence gradually migrated to other countries. The nutritional value of these grains is difficult to overestimate - the protein content in them is twice as high as any other varieties, and about 11% of the composition falls on special grades of fiber.
Variety description
Bulk oats is a special kind of cereal that does not have a membranous shell on its grains, which is why, in accordance with GOST, it is not subjected to mechanical separation from the husk and its grains remain intact, keeping the entire set of nutrients unchanged.
This type of cereal is ideal for germination, because it does not have a hard shell.
The history of bare oats has tens of centuries. He came to our country from Tibet, and this was done at the request of the top authorities of the Soviet Union in order to provide the party elite with ecologically clean and healing food.
Grain has a balanced structure that contains the necessary amino acids for the body, as well as vitamin E, which has a pronounced antioxidant effect. It stops the aging process and softens the severity of age-related changes. In addition, the product is rich in zinc, selenium and iron, which play a crucial role in changing the qualitative composition of the blood, stimulating the production of collagen and carotene, as well as strengthening the immune system.
Inclusion in the diet of germinated grains of bare oat helps to maintain normal growth and full development of all cells and tissues of the body, improve vision, taste, smell and hearing, as well as improve tone and charge with vitality.
Benefit
Sprouts of bare oats have an increased concentration of amino acids, which is why the product has a higher energy value and can be an excellent substitute for all kinds of doping.
Young sprouts help fight dysbacteriosis, resist caries, normalize the urogenital system, and also contributes to the elasticity of the skin.
The high content of polysaccharides helps to establish the formation of perforin, which is an effective blocker of tumor cells, significantly improves the general condition during chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and is often prescribed to enhance the therapeutic effect in mastopathy, adenoma, etc.
Sprouts of naked oats have a special fiber in their structure, which normalizes the work of the large and small intestines, increases peristalsis and stimulates the excretion of toxins and toxins from the body.
Frequent use of oat grains increases resistance to dangerous viral diseases.and also forms resistance to frequent colds infections.
A lot of calcium builds up in filmless oats, which minimizes the risk of developing severe osteoporosis, also makes teeth stronger, strengthens bone and muscle tissue.
Germinated grains optimize the work of the endocrine and cardiovascular systems, stabilize hormonal levels, lower cholesterol and glucose levels in the blood.
Of particular advantage are the germs of bare oat for children - the introduction of such dishes into the diet provides the growing body with the necessary energy, and also contributes to the full growth and development of young organisms.

How to cook?
Germinating the grain of bare oats is a snap.
The recipe of cooking is as follows.
- To start the grain, it is necessary to sort out carefully, clean the garbage and fill it with cool water so that the liquid covers the grain and there are 2-3 cm left. Thus, the product should be kept 4-5 hours. During this time, oats swell and dramatically increases in size.
- After the set time has elapsed, remove the remaining water, rinse the grain thoroughly and close, but not tightly, so that the oats “breathe” and leave for 12-15 hours. After the oats can be eaten.
Unboiled oats should be germinated at normal room temperature, and young seedlings should be stored in a cool place, optimally in a refrigerator. Every 5-8 hours soaked grains with shoots must be washed.
Keep in mind that naked oats contain a significant amount of various impurities, which is why they need to be carefully selected. It is impossible to completely remove all rubbish manually, and it takes too long to “blow through” the grains. That is why, before germinating, fill the grains with cool water for a couple of minutes and stir well. A minute later, all the garbage will remain on the surface, and such a “top” liquid can be safely drained, and the procedure repeated 3-4 times more. Thus, you can quickly and effortlessly save your future shoots from a significant proportion of unnecessary inclusions.
Purification of the grains may cause some inconvenience, but all of them are more than offset by the exceptional benefits and nutritional value of young shoots.
