Finnish Overnight Oat Porridge

Agriculture in Finland is one of the northernmost in the world and the crops grown benefit from the clean arctic air, water and soil making them purest in Europe. The harsh winters kill off pests, so pesticides are not necessary. Oats thrive in cool, moist weather and these luminous Finnish oats take advantage of the midnight sun and short summers.

Finnish oats with wild forest berries are the basic ingredients for the traditional Finnish breakfast. Here we are making it with water to keep it dairy-free for the lactose intolerant and also soaking it overnight to improve digestibility. For those that need a warm breakfast as the Finns do especially in Winter, we are cooking it for a short time to get the perfect structure and unique, soft Finnish flavour.
Let our warm, heart healthy Finnish oats lend their fibre and beta-glucan to help balance your gut microbiome and cleanse your cardiovascular system of unnecessary cholesterol.

Add a couple of spoonfuls of fresh or cooked berries or a little butter, honey and ground flaxseeds for a truly traditional Finnish treat.
