Zego uses a hull-free, specialty seed that is higher in nutrients than other varieties of oats. The oats are 100% raw, rolled out using a unique cold, waterless process, which preserves nutrients and prevents mycotoxins. As a result, you get about double the digestible protein, 20-40% more fiber and iron, and superior digestibility compared to typical heat-processed oatmeal. Best of all, you get rich, robust flavor.
Zego’s Double Protein Oats are grown in the U.S. Mountain Region on small farms and 3rd party tested for over 500 pesticides including glyphosate and paraquat, heavy metals, allergens, and other toxins. Each bag’s QR code will trace you to its purity test results, which are also on Zego’s website.
Double Protein Oats are 100% purity protocol gluten-free (the highest GF standard) and processed in a top 14 allergy free facility.
Raw oats must be prepared in a specific way due to their active enzymes or some people may detect bitter notes. Please follow the preparation instructions below. If you are extremely sensitive to bitterness, try our organic muesli, which uses a different oat variety.
Directions
Stovetop (recommended): Boil 2 parts water with a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 part oatmeal and simmer for 10 minutes.
Microwave (not recommended unless following these instructions): Using a fglass container with twice the volume of your water, boil 2 parts water with a pinch of salt. Stir in 1 part oatmeal and microwave on low for approximately 1.5 minutes. Watch to make sure it doesn’t overflow. Stir and let rest for another 3 minutes to finish cooking and cool before handling.
Creamy Oat Milk: Put 1 cup of oats + pinch of salt in a glass blender and cover with boiling water (we like adding 1t vanilla +2 dates). Let sit for 10 minutes. Then add 2 cups of cold water. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Let the oat “meal” settle for a few minutes and pour off or strain the milk into a glass storage jar. Tip: Use the remaining oat “meal” as breakfast porridge or baby food.
Baby Food: Follow oat milk instructions without adding in additional cold water. Or, grind 1 part dry oatmeal in blender and cook stovetop with twice the volume of boiling water + pinch of salt. Simmer 5-10 minutes.
Overnight Oats: If you are not cooking raw oats, you Must add salt, an acid like lemon juice or yogurt to stop the enzyme activity. Otherwise, the oats will develop into a sourdough starter and have an off taste.
Sourdough Starter, Savory Oats, Delicious Baked Goods: See Zego’s website magazine for more great recipes.
