Steel Cut Oats also known as Pinhead,Coarse or Irish oatmeal are made by chopping the groats into 2 or 3 small pieces rather than milling between millstones or crushing between steel rollers.
They give a coarser texture to your porridge and it's said they have a nuttier taste. They do take longer to cook than other porridges and some people do leave them to soak overnight.
We now produce our own pinhead oats and they are available on our market stalls and will shortly be available to order via the online shop.
Please note we do produce a coarsely milled oat meal.
