Avena sativa
We spread oat seeds in between the rows and sections of our fields as they create a living 'mulch' which competes against the weeds and enriches the soil.
We hand harvest the oat 'seeds' when they are milky- ie not ripe but full of the milky inulin that bursts from the seed head when squeezed. This inulin is the beneficial part of the Oat seed head and so timing in very important in the harvesting of this herb.
