    what is a filter cup? do you mean putting the soaked oats through the Oscar Max?

    @Isobel

    I was referring to the Soyquick Soy Milk Maker at http://www.vitality4life.com/au/soyquick-premie... not the Oscar Max.

    We are often asked what if you can put whatever you like into the filter cup to change the taste or add nutrition into your milk. For example, a few common items that we are asked about are coffee beans, flax seed, sesame seeds and sweet coconut. A word of caution: when adding additional items into the filter cup or mixing different nuts or beans, it will change the original grinding reaction of the blade so when adding or removing a few extra beans or nuts is sometimes necessary so that the blade can have good grinding action. Experiment a little and you'll be enjoying that custom mix in no time!

    dear roger, good morning from Bali ! It would have been lovely to have a top of the market V4L at Puri Ganesha.........I'll send you the info on the clean breaks and because I use all your equipment anyway (dehydrator, oscar, blender!) you might be interested in passing it on to some clients too? looking forward to hearing from you again soon and hope all is well with you in Byron?? kind regards, Diana

    how long does oat milk last in the fridge? My naturopathic/medical doctor told me that full cream milk is much better than skim particularly for menopausal women.

    @Lee
    Treat like normal milk. And yes - good advice from your naturopath. Oat milk should last a good 4-5 days if not longer when stored in the fridge. Full cream milk has a higher calcium content that skim milk and it is the Calcium that menopausal women require. Another alternative to full cream could be enriched milk (calcium added).

    What is an oat groat ? Is it the whole grain that looks like rice ? Can you use rolled oats ? I do not really understand when you refer to a filter cup and what does it do? can I yse something else in place of it as I might not be able to get it here in Africa.

    Oat Groats - These are whole oats with only the outer husk removed. Oat groats may be cooked whole or ground into flour. Oatmeal is made by steaming and then rolling these whole groats. Stabilized, not for sprouting.
