Pearl barley (double polished)
Able to adapt to a range of environmental conditions, oats are widely grown as a broadacre crop throughout Australia, even in regions with poor soil conditions and lower rainfall averages. An annual grass, oats are sown and harvested for human consumption, for the use of grain as stock feed and also for as fodder and silage. This staple grain is a major cereal crop for human consumption in almost every country around the world and remains popular due to its high fibre, protein and energy content. Our dedicated export team has formed strong working relationships with growers across the country, and particularly in Western Australia where around half of all Australian oats are grown. These partnerships, along with our excellent logistical and transport network results in the highest quality oat product delivered to your food processing or commercial premises no matter where you're located.
Most well known as a source of malt in the fermenting process for beer, barley was one of the world's first cultivated grains and is also a valuable feedstock and ingredient in commercially produced bread, cereal and soup products. With a high fibre content and cholesterol lowering qualities, barley is also recognised for its intestinal health benefits, making it highly desirable for human consumption. Grown across Australia, in a variety of soil and climatic environments, barley has benefitted from research into the prevention of pest and disease, making it one of the most resilient crops produced for export. With excellent working relationships with Australian barley growers, and a stringent bulk handling, storage and transport standards for export, the Nzac Foods team offer exceptional logistical and delivery systems at competitive prices.
