Featured Product HiFi OatsOrganic Grain and Milling (OGM), a division of Ceres Organic Harvest, is proud to bring organic HiFiTM oats to industrial customers. HiFiTM oats have 40-50% more soluble fiber than other oats. This means that you get more health benefits in your regular serving of oats! Soluble fiber in oats is formed by a polymer called beta-glucan. Research shows that oat beta-glucan can contribute to lower cholesterol, stable blood glucose levels, and a stronger immune system. OGM has an exclusive license for organic production of a higher fiber oat variety from North Dakota State University Research Foundation. We will market higher fiber oats under our brand name, HiFiTM. Please see our HiFiTM Oats page for more information on these extraordinary oats!
