Why we use Oats instead of Rice

You ask yourself why we choose our risotto use oats instead of rice?
Here you go:

• The complex carbohydrates in oats lead to satiety for a particularly long time.
• Oat flakes are particularly easy to digest.
• Oats provide lots of fibre, iron, zinc and plant-based protein.
• Oatmeal swells much faster than rice, meaning the cook time is less.
• And of course because we just love oats!
