Even with a dehuller it is hard to make your own porridge as not all the oats dehull and you need more equipment to separate the groats form the rest.Madeline McKeeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134381548508413567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008746585554033760.post-21028823862656077822011-11-28T02:17:38.278-08:002011-11-28T02:17:38.278-08:00Madeline, do people have de-hullers for their home...Madeline, do people have de-hullers for their home there in Ireland? I've become interested in naked oats because I think I could roll them at home for food.<br />Previously I thought that regular oats were rolled, then the hulls sifted out to make rolled oats.Brian Cadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774014063263991567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008746585554033760.post-67477739952654120352010-12-27T10:29:55.583-08:002010-12-27T10:29:55.583-08:00More details of the Welsh oat breeding project her...More details of the Welsh oat breeding project here: http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/ibers/research/minister_launches_oats_study/<br /><br />They might have a bright future as soya bean substitute concentrates, according to the blurb I've read.

I emailed the farmers today and I will let you know it they get back to me. We had some pretty severe weather last year when they were in the ground. I didn't get around to sowing any this autumn.Madeline McKeeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134381548508413567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2008746585554033760.post-22276540879693168262010-12-27T00:58:05.256-08:002010-12-27T00:58:05.256-08:00What variety of naked oats did you grow?

I had success with an autumn sown variety years ago, I think it was Kynon from the Welsh Plant Breeding Station as was, now part of University of Aberystwyth. I wonder whether it would have survived this winter?Rhizowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898344291012563139noreply@blogger.com
