Oats

As an environmental scientist, I am always trying to highlight sustainable ingredients, and oats are one of my favorites!

Oats require little-to-no tilling and are a lower-input crop compared to other grains. It’s best to find oats grown in the USA to minimize food miles. 

They also have a long shelf life, so you are less likely to waste them!

Oats can be eaten for breakfast, used in baked goods, or even used as a binder! Find all of our favorite oat recipes here.
