As for oat flakes, according to experts from Dobrodiya Foods, a leader among Ukrainian producers of oatmeal, today modern high-performance equipment can keep up to 85% of vitamins, minerals, micro- and macronutrients.
Thanks to the use of innovative technologies cereals of TM “Dobrodiya” and San Grano preserve up to 95% of grain benefits. Researches carried out by leading European laboratories have shown that Dobrodiya flakes contain a valuable complex of macro-, micronutrients and vitamins. In particular, Ukrainian oat flakes contain 4.1 g of beta-glucan (per 100 g). Beta-glucan is a natural immunostimulant that has a positive effect on the human body: it lowers cholesterol, improves digestion, lowers sugar, normalizes metabolism.
Also, flakes of TM “Dobrodiya” contain a significant amount of dietary fiber – 11 g per 100 g of product. Dietary fiber is a complex of biopolymers that forms the walls of plant cells. It helps to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, diabetes, obesity, gallstones, allergies and some cancers.
