About Den Sorte Havre
Den Sorte Havre (meaning "The Black Oat" in Norwegian) brings an ancient Viking grain to modern breakfast tables. Grown and packaged at a small family farm in Våler, Norway, these are claimed to be the world's first oatmeal made from black oats - a robust, original grain that predates modern agriculture. Before contemporary farming changed what we eat, black oats were the authentic grain type in Norway. This super-oat boasts over 40% more healthy unsaturated fatty acids than standard white oats, making it a nutritional powerhouse. As a more robust ancient variety, black oats don't require pesticide treatment, and Den Sorte Havre is 100% whole grain. The brand has earned recognition from Matmerk, a foundation created by the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture, receiving their prestigious Unique Product Award. This honours truly distinctive food products that stand out in the marketplace - validation for a grain that's been mostly forgotten since Viking times. UK availability includes two varieties: Rolled Porridge Oats for a smoother, quicker-cooking breakfast, and Steel Cut Porridge Oats for those who prefer a heartier, nuttier texture with more bite. Both deliver the distinctive dark colour and unique flavour profile that sets black oats apart from ordinary porridge. UK shoppers can find Den Sorte Havre at Tesco and Ocado, with Grocefully helping you compare prices on these premium Norwegian black oats.
