Since 1999, the University of Würzburg has been choosing the “Medicinal Plant of the Year” to show how important plants are in medicine. In 2017, oats were chosen – and for good reason! Oats are not only known as a breakfast hero, but also as a local superfood for health.
In addition to the vitamins and minerals, the soluble fibre beta-glucan is particularly in the spotlight. This makes up around half of the fibre in oats and has many benefits for your body: It has positive effects on the digestive tract, has been proven to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels and can boost your metabolism.
And that's not all! Oat straw and oat herb also have their place in the pharmaceutical world. They help with skin problems such as itchy or dry skin.
