Does anyone know if you can buy oat groats or steel cut oats in Gran Canaria? It's very important for me.

Many thanks,

Rosemary

Why, if you don't mind me asking

Groat oats are minimally processed and high nutritional value. Suitable for diabetics, can be organic, high in protein, good source of fibre classed as a super health food.

Sorry cannot answer original question though as not in my diet although probably ought to be.

You can get regular porridge oats easily enough in Playa Del Ingles which have very similar nutritional value; certainly a viable substitute.

sachmofranklin

The captain is correct. :-) For others, the nutritional value is non-existent with any other form of processed and steamed oat - the rubbish they sell in supermarkets. :-) Trust me, oat expert here. If anyone knows of a health food store/oat farmer that sell them, I would be eternally grateful. It is a very important part of my recovery diet in healing - transformative. Many thanks and much appreciation

Can't actually answer, but intrigued, I googled and there is a canary forum which had a thread about coeliac requirements (I know, I know) and referred to health food outlets so posting on there might achieve something? Dunno.

tex_ritter

I'd not go that far, for most people they will do the job fine. What are you recovering from if I may ask (and good luck with your recovery whatever you have/had).

sachmofranklin

Thanks for looking Fiona, let me know if you spot something. I'll keep searching.. Big love to all :-)

sachmofranklin

Thanks Tex, all perspectives are valid, experience, n' horses for (oat) courses, o'course. Please let me know if you know anyone that might know if they're on the island. :-) Big love and much appreciation,

Are you American? I've a couple of chums in the States who eat the same as you want.

sachmofranklin

British :-)

I'll keep a lookout for you, I'll be back there shortly, was due to be there now but had an aged aunt problem which dashed my plans.

sachmofranklin

Aye, perhaps see you there. :-)
