Healthy Lifestyle

The increased interest in the health benefits
of foods has been fueled by the obesity crisis
and inflated cholesterol levels. The positive
function of Cavena Nuda is increasingly attractive
to the improvement of a healthy lifestyle.

Nourish your Diet

The nutritional facts for Cavena Nuda are exceptional and can be implemented very easily into a broad spectrum of diets. To highlight a few points it is high in fibre and protein and it is a good source of iron. It is also gluten free.

Environmental Impact

Cavena Nuda naked oats are naturally hull-free, resulting in less processing and a reduced carbon footprint.  No flooding or irrigation requirement provides a substantial reduction of fresh water resources.

Cooking Instructions

To prepare, use 1 cup of Cavena to 2 1/2 cups of water. Bring the water to a vigorous boil and add Cavena.
Turn down to a low boil and cook for 35-40 minutes. Strain excess water. The texture should be soft and chewy.
Some kernels will open. Most will not. You cannot overcook it as long as there is still some water.
We have a wide selection of Delicious & Nutritious recipe Ideas ranging from very easy, to Chef inspired creations.
Some smart cooking strategies are also explained including how to freeze Cavena.
-- Faster than instant, and ready as soon as it is hot! Inspired Ideas Here
