Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Oat groats are the whole, minimally processed kernels of oats, often referred to as "whole oats." They are the most intact form of oats available after harvesting and have not undergone any significant processing, such as rolling or cutting. Oat groats retain all parts of the oat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, making them a nutritious whole grain. Oat groats are rich in essential nutrients, including dietary fiber, protein, vitamins (such as B vitamins), minerals (such as iron, magnesium, and zinc), and antioxidants. They are particularly known for their high soluble fiber content, specifically beta-glucan, which has been linked to various health benefits, including improved heart health, cholesterol management, and blood sugar regulation.
