Local Producer Profile: Kilbeggan Organic Oats

NOOOOBY have only recently discovered Kilbeggan Organic Porridge Oats in the last few months, and since then we haven't looked back. Delicious creamy oatflakes, have made me fall in love with porridge on a winters morning all over again!

About:

Kilbeggan Organic Foods was established in January 2011. This is a family business run by the Tom Lalor and his family to produce and market Organic food products based on the organic oat crop grown on the family farm, Ballard Organic Farm in Westmeath.

The Products:
Porridge oats comes in two distinct types, porridge oatlets also called fine or creamy porridge and jumbo oats. Both products are exactly the same as they both come from the oat grain, but the jumbo is the whole oat and the oatlet is the jumbo oat cut up into three or four pieces.

Both types of oats come in four different sizes; 500gr, 1kg, 3kg and 25kg.

If you visit Ballard Organic Farm web site on www.ballardorganicfarm.ie you will see how crop is grown and the care that is given to creating a soil that is full of the life that nature intended. 

Health Benefits:
Eat more oats is a web site which explains the health benefits of eating oats. You may also down load a PDF which gives a copy of a current certificate of analysis of Kilbeggan Organic Porridge. It is interesting to compare the results with other brands and especially the very high level of soluble fibre contained in Kilbeggan Organic Porridge.
