Our six exceptional products – oat flakes, steel-cut oat flakes, oat groats, steel-cut oat groats, oats with hull, and oat husk pellets – showcase the purity and rich flavor of our unique Nordic environment.
With high standards of traceable and sustainable sourcing, our oats are not only naturally rich in β-glucan that aids in cholesterol management and blood sugar control, but also compliant with stringent international food safety standards.
Finland is the second largest exporter of oats in the world.
"The unique strong character of Finnish oats rises from its Nordic growing conditions."
The enormous amount of light with midnight sun, pristine waters, and freezing winters work in harmony to nurture, refine, and strengthen our oats.
Finnish oats are known for their large, light-coloured grains with low husk content.
They have a soft, nutty flavor and a fresh aroma. The grain’s ideal hardness makes it easy to process and perfect for hulling. The grain maintains its structure well during the processing, enabling a high yield in oat flake production.

have an oat question?
Here we answer questions about how Finnish oats grow.
WHEN IS YOUR GROWING SEASON?
The growing season in Finland is short yet incredibly intense. Oats are sown in May and harvested in August–September.
Is there enough time for the oats to grow?
Finnish oats receive more daylight than anywhere else on Earth during the short growing season. This extraordinary light energy gives our oats their superior quality and strength.
HOW MANY HOURS OF SUNLIGHT DO YOU get IN THE SUMMER?
The sun shines up to 19 hours a day in the south of Finland and never sets in the north. We call this the midnight sun and is a beautiful experience.
WHAT about winter?
Finnish winters freeze the soil deeply, naturally destroying many harmful pests. This results in purer soil, significantly lower pesticide use, and cleaner oats with minimal residues.
How does water and soil affect oats?
Finland is blessed with 187,000 crystal-clear lakes and exceptionally pure groundwater, combined with clean air and pristine soil. These ideal conditions, including naturally acidic soils and peatlands, allow us to grow healthy, clean, and nutrient-rich oats of superior quality and taste.
ARE YOUR OATS QUALITY CHECKED?
The Finnish Food Authority is annually analysing and reporting the quality of the Finnish grains. Food safety is our top priority. Every step — from farm to finished product — is strictly monitored to guarantee the highest quality and accuracy.
