Groats
Groats are the hulled and crushed grains of various
cereals, such as
oats,
wheat,
barley or
buckwheat. They are a good source of
avenanthramide. Groats are nutritious, but hard to chew, so they are often soaked and cooked. Roasted buckwheat groats are known as
kasha; they are used as a main ingredient in a popular
staple meal of the same name in
Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Groaty pudding, also known as Groaty Dick, is a traditional dish from the
Black Country in England. It is made from soaked groats, leeks, onions, beef and beef stock which is baked at 150 degrees centrigade for up to 16 hours. Groaty pudding is a traditional meal on
Guy Fawkes Night.
