'''Groats''' are the hulled grains of various [[cereal]]s, such as [[oat]]s, [[wheat]], [[barley]] or [[buckwheat]]. They are a good source of [[avenanthramide]].
Groats are nutritious, but hard to chew, so they are often soaked and cooked. They can be the basis of [[kasha]], a [[porridge|porridge]]-like [[staple food|staple meal]] of [[Eastern Europe]] and Eurasia. Roasted buckwheat groats are also known as kasha or ''kashi'', especially in the United States.
Wheat groats, also known as bulgur (bulgar) are an essential ingredient of some middle eastern salads, i.e., tabbouleh.
[[Groaty pudding]], also known as ''Groaty Dick'', is a traditional dish from the [[Black Country]] in England. It is made from soaked groats, leeks, onions, beef and beef stock which is baked at 150 degrees Celsius for up to 16 hours. Groaty pudding is a traditional meal on [[Guy Fawkes Night]].
