Purity Protocol Oat Ingredients

Certified Gluten Free Oats

Pure and Wholesome

Oats (Avena sativa) are a cereal grain providing whole grain goodness. They are high in dietary fiber, including 4% soluble beta-glucan (good for heart health). They are also a complex carbohydrate with a low glycemic index.

Oat ingredients are an excellent source of protein, B vitamins, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium, manganese, phosphorous, magnesium and zinc.

Though naturally gluten-free, oats can be contaminated with gluten-containing grains (e.g. wheat, barley, rye, triticale) or grain dust. As a result, people with celiac disease, gluten-intolerance, wheat intolerance or wheat allergies are not able to tolerate oats unless they have been specially produced to be gluten-free.

Avena Purity Protocol oat ingredients have great flavor, color, nutrition and an extended shelf life. These certified gluten-free ingredients are used in baking (gluten-free and conventional), cereals, granola and clusters, bars, desserts, beverages, plant-based meat alternatives and nutraceuticals. ​

Avena has two Purity Protocol oat milling plants. The first Avena Purity Protocol oat mill is located in Regina, Saskatchewan. Our second, newly built Purity Protocol oat mill is located in Rowatt, Saskatchewan and was commissioned in January 2023.
