A small grain with a long tradition

Oats are native to Northern Europe. According to archaeological finds, the history of this ‘ancient grain’ dates back to the Bronze Age. Though regarded as a weed or, at best, livestock feed in ancient times, oats have now been a valued component of the human diet for thousands of years, due to the high concentration of nutrients in this power grain. Nowadays it is enjoyed as crispy breakfast cereal or melt-in-the-mouth porridge, as a healthy baking ingredient or as a drink used as a lactose-free substitute for milk.

Oat – summer grain

In Europe, oat is grown primarily as a summer grain. The species most widely grown in Germany is the common oat (botanical name Avena sativa). It has its origins in northern Germany and needs a temperate climate with plenty of rain and little frost in order to thrive. This explains why it is mostly grown in Central and Northern Europe, e.g. northern France, parts of Great Britain, southern Sweden and northern Germany.

However, this popular grain is not only found on our continent: there are up to 30 different species worldwide. Botanically, oats belong to the sweet grass family. The numerous grains the plants produce are located in their panicles.
