Product Details

Big Oz Organic specialises in processing grains using traditional puffing, flaking and coating systems. At the Big Oz plant in the UK they are able to process a wide variety of grains, which are packed for sale to the wholesale or retail sectors. It is their intention to provide customers with the highest quality food products. To do this, they endeavor to find the best possible quality of raw material, process and dispatch it in the shortest time, to ensure that when the product reaches the consumer it is the freshest possible. They hope you enjoy their cereals in the knowledge that they always endeavor to achieve the highest quality product for you.

Morning Puffs breakfast cereals are puffed and flaked using freshly harvested grains. The Big Oz range includes ten varieties which are free from added salt, sugars, artificial flavours and colours. They contain only the natural grain with nothing else added, and are naturally cholesterol and sodium free and low in saturated fat.

After harvesting, these pure grain cereals are puffed by a special process to produce a 'puff ball' which preserves the original shape of the grain, and helps to maintain maximum nutrition. The process also roasts the grains, which helps with digestion and gives them a delicious toasted flavour.

Big Oz select only first class whole grains which have been organically grown for their range of 'Morning Puffs' breakfast cereals. The outer husk is removed and they puff the grains by heating them to a very high temperature inside a sealed drum. This special process produces a 'puff ball,' helping to preserve the original shape of the grain and to maintain maximum nutritional content. It also gives the grain a delicious roasted flavour.

Big Oz's puffed cereals are all gluten-free and include rice, millet, amaranth, corn, buckwheat and quinoa, whilst the puffs that are gluten-types are rye, spelt, wheat, oats and barley.

Big Oz's flakes are also made using a traditional method of heating the raw grains to soften them, then just rolling the grains until they are flat. They pack and dispatch the flakes to their customers shortly after production, with the aim of having the freshest possible product for the consumer.

Good for a hot breakfast - Sat 9th Oct 2010
I found it difficult to find a quick hot breakfast which is wheat, gluten and dairy free. Quinoa flakes have a slightly nutty taste, and are a good source of protein. The flakes are very quick to cook. I just add boiling water and let them stand for a few minutes. Although, some people may wish to add extras, to get the taste they want. Alternatively, you can cook like porridge with either milk or a milk alternative.

Good quality. - Mon 26th Mar 2012
We use quinoa flakes in our homemade breakfast muesli mix along with dried fruit and soya milk. They have a nice flavour and are a good source of protein. Big Oz products are always good quality.
