OAT Plant - Avena Sativa - 200 Seeds

Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal originating in the Mediterranean and the Middle East which has been used throughout history for both human and animal nutrition because it is an important source of protein (818%) that is also rich in essential amino acids (i.e. lysine) and contains abundant dietary fiber (-glucan), vitamins and minerals.

Oats have several medicinal uses, primarily for supporting cardiovascular and digestive health, managing blood sugar, and soothing skin conditions. Traditional uses include calming the nervous system, though evidence for some uses is limited. They are used internally as a whole grain or bran to lower cholesterol and manage diabetes, and externally in baths and poultices for skin irritations like eczema.
