Whole Grain Oats
Whole Grain Oats are an excellent choice for mushroom farms, offering great water retention and cost-effectiveness as a grain spawn. These oats, also known as groats, are first soaked, drained, and then sterilized to provide a perfect environment for mycelium growth within your grain bags. The term "groat" is derived from an old Scottish word for hulled grains and is now predominantly used to refer to oats in modern English, while "berry" refers to whole grains of wheat and rye.
Our whole grain oats are food-grade quality, making them suitable for both consumption and mushroom cultivation. Rich in B vitamins, calcium, protein, and fiber, while being low in sodium and unsaturated fat, these oats offer a wholesome nutty taste and pleasing texture.
