Compound:

The taste of oat grains is distinguished by a slight bitterness and a faint smell, which is familiar to many from the smell of flakes. When infested with pests, the smell can acquire a herring, wormwood, honey or garlic tint. If the grain was damaged during harvesting or sprouted, its taste will become slightly sweet. When fats oxidize due to improper storage conditions – rancid . High-quality oats should also not have a musty or moldy smell, a matte surface shade and dark spots.

Among the 55% of carbohydrates present in the composition, only 1.1% are sugars. The rest is starch. In addition, oat grain contains 12 essential and 8 replaceable amino acids. Almost all fatty acids belong to the Omega-6 group, and 100 grams of grain cover half of the daily requirement for this type of acids.

The rich chemical composition of oat grains determines the various useful qualities of the product. Depending on the processing method, oats can be used to cleanse the liver, gall bladder or pancreas. But the benefits of oats brewed in a thermos are more extensive and consist of the following positive effects:

• Iron helps restore healthy blood composition;

• magnesium increases the overall tone of the nervous system, improves its interaction with other organs and systems;
• phosphorus strengthens the musculoskeletal system and helps to improve metabolic processes;
• selenium and calcium perform antioxidant treatment of tissues and organic fluids;
• B vitamins improve the efficiency of metabolic processes, stimulate nutrition and metabolism at the cellular level.

Two dozen amino acids are actively involved in the work of the endocrine system, thereby increasing the overall physical and psycho -emotional tone of the body. The work of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland is also improved due to the intake of iodine and manganese.

Adding oats to the diet helps normalize cholesterol and fat metabolism. The complex of minerals stabilizes cardiac activity, strengthens muscles, makes blood vessels elastic and permeable.
