As a macrobiotic whole grain, oats retain their abundant prebiotic fiber when fermented, as well as exceptional levels of the minerals zinc, copper, and manganese. Added to this are very high levels of potassium, phosporous, magnesium, and calcium. These essential dietary elements are concentrated during fermentation and highly available. The combination of cereal fiber and protein in oats significantly reduces hypertension risk.
