I love oats. I use them in my produce so I can honestly say I have my ways of making Icelanders eat their oats!

While attending the the Nordic food conference in Helsinki, I learned a lot about oats! There were so many interesting things going on during the two days of the Nordic food conference, that I didn´t get the chance to attend all I wanted and therefore missed further discussions during Nordic oats.

Fortunately, we have the internet, so I´ll surely be reading up on it.

On the evening of the 10th – the night before the Nordic conference kicked off, there was a small informal gathering held at Bakers pub in downtown Helsinki.

There I met for example with people studying the benefits of oats and people growing oats in the Nordic countries.

We did a quiz on facts about oats which was both fun and informative.
I learned for example, how little of the oats production actually goes to human consumption.

Here are a few links where you can get more information on Nordic oat production.

There is substantial information about oats out there, which you can enjoy reading while enjoying your porridge in the morning!:)
