You're probably used to eating oats for breakfast, but did you know that you can sprout the oats to create a grass that's rich in nutrients as well? Oat grass (also known as oat straw) is used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote calm and support a balanced blood sugar. Scientists have been particularly interested in a flavone present in oat grass called tricin, which may have antioxidant benefits.
