Introducing...Cavena Nuda

Wheat free, high in fibre and protein, and a cholesterol reducing power food, Cavena Nuda (meaning Canadian Naked Oats) is the only food like it on the planet! Enjoy such recipes as Nuda and Lentil Soup, Baked Oatmeal, Lemon Rice Pudding, Lazy Cabbage Rolls and more.

Concerned about the environment? Cavena Nuda naked oats are naturally hull-free, resulting in less processing and a reduced carbon footprint. And a no flooding or irrigation requirement provides a substantial reduction of fresh water resources. For more information about this fabulous grain, visit the Cavena Nuda website here.
